COVID-19 QR Codes

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:47): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier assure the house that none of the 345 people who were noted by the Auditor-General in his report as having inappropriate access to the system were outside the Department for Health and Wellbeing?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —but instead, cast—

The SPEAKER: Premier, there is a point of order. I must take the point of order.

Mr PICTON: The Premier is debating the answer.

The SPEAKER: I call the Premier to the substance of the question, but, member for Kaurna, can I say, whilst you are now seated, that your interjections are not assisting and neither are the Attorney's and I put you both on second warnings. It would be a rare thing for me to remove from the house two frontbenchers, but I will do it today if you keep up the interjections across the chamber.
