Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:36): I ask the Premier: following his statement to the house yesterday that his government seeks to uphold the highest standards of disclosure, and I think just repeated in similar terms now, will he now disclose to the house and the people of South Australia whether he accepts the findings of the Ombudsman tabled in the house on Tuesday?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:37): I thank the member for Heysen for his question and again note the absolute determination and zeal that the opposition has to continue to go over all matters pertaining to Ms Chapman.

Members interjecting:

Mr TEAGUE: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: Order! There is a point of order.

Mr Cowdrey interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton is called to order. I will hear the point of order.

Mr TEAGUE: I listened to the first rehearsal of the Premier on this in the last answer without rising on a point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr TEAGUE: He is continuing in—

The SPEAKER: Member for Heysen, what is your point of order?

Mr TEAGUE: —debate contrary to standing order 98.

The SPEAKER: Very well.

Mr TEAGUE: He should answer the question. It's a straightforward question.

The SPEAKER: Your point of order is raised very early in the answer. I will listen carefully. The Premier.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: As I have said repeatedly since the handing down of the Ombudsman's report, including in this place, we thank the Ombudsman for his report. We will take all his findings into consideration and we will be conducting a piece of work to make sure that his findings are worked through to ensure that going forward we understand exactly what the rules of the game are when it comes to conflict of interest.
