          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:29):</by>  I rise on a matter of privilege. Sir, as you would be aware, a report was tabled in the House of Assembly by the select committee on Kangaroo Island plantations investigating the conduct of the Deputy Premier and Minister for Planning. The house has just passed a no-confidence motion. That report contains evidence of contempts of parliament and I ask that you assess that report and report back to the house whether or not a matter of privilege should take precedence to consider the penalties for those breaches.</text>

          <by role="office">The SPEAKER:</by>  The member for West Torrens has raised a matter of privilege. I have within my possession a copy of the report. In view of the seriousness of the matters raised and also the passage through the house of a motion of no confidence, I propose to give extempore reasons in relation to a decision as to whether a prima facie case of privilege exists within the hour. For the moment, I understand the question before the house is that the house notes grievances.</text>
