Member for Mawson

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): Supplementary: given my understanding from the Premier's answer that he received a briefing from the member for Mawson, can the Premier advise whether the member for Mawson claimed expenses, as I believe was given to be understood was possible, as a result of this trip and the cost to the taxpayer of the member for Mawson's trip to Doha, Sweden, the French Alps and other places?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (15:02): Absolutely there is the ability for expenses to be claimed, but the advice I have received is that at this point no expenses claim has been made.

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Chaffey is called to order.
