Sporting and Infrastructure Grants

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:29): Again to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing, has the minister written to the Premier to inform him of any conflict of interest and, if so, when? With the leave of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TARZIA: On 31 May, the minister confirmed in writing to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport that 'I have identified 12 election commitments where I have a potential or perceived conflict of interest'. Section 3.3 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct states that ministers are under an obligation to write to the Premier after they become aware of any conflict of interest.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:30): As has been made abundantly clear, the government made election commitments to sporting communities, amongst others, throughout the state of South Australia. The cabinet process has presided over the delivery of those election commitments that were best represented through the handing down of the budget, which was only done a few weeks after the state election. In respect of all those cabinet deliberations, it is my expectation that due process was followed and that's what I understand our ministers are doing.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Unley knows the standing orders.
