With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Mr MALINAUSKAS: ABC 891 presenter David Bevan told listeners last Friday morning, 'So they hold a vote, Dan gets elected, David Speirs loses. I get a text later in the evening and it says, "Feel free to use this quote tomorrow" from a 'senior Liberal' and it was sent to me from a senior Liberal in the South Australian parliament.' The quote is this— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, members to my right and to my left! Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Chaffey is called to order. The member for Chaffey is warned. Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Mr MALINAUSKAS: The quote is this, and this person wants this read out today: 'The decision from the Premier's office to whip the moderates to vote for Dan van Holst Pellekaan has ended any chance for factional healing.
