House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg Mr TEAGUE House of Assembly Heysen Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:38): There's a supplementary in that case: I have to ask the Premier what the point was of referring the matter to the Ombudsman if we were not going to receive an indication from the Premier about whether or not he would accept the findings of the Ombudsman. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier has the call. The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Premier The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:38): I speak— The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Member for Mawson is called to order. The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: I speak on behalf of the government. I have been a spokesperson on behalf of the South Australian parliamentary Labor Party now for approximately four years. I would not be so presumptuous as to think that I speak on behalf of the parliament. It was the parliament that referred the inquiry to the Ombudsman. It was the parliament that asked the Ombudsman to examine the actions of Ms Chapman, something that the now opposition is clearly completely obsessed with. It wasn't me who asked the Ombudsman to do the report: it was the parliament, which indeed includes you, sir. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Acting leader, order! There are interjections on both sides. The acting leader, of course, is seeking to assert his position in the chamber. I applaud that, but we need to be balanced, as the member has emphasised to me. The acting leader is warned. The member for Flinders has the call.
