House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time MacKillop Electorate Office MacKillop Electorate Office The Hon. D.G. PISONI House of Assembly Unley MacKillop Electorate Office The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (14:52): My question is to the Treasurer. Has the government approved a second electorate office and additional staff for the member for MacKillop, and, if so, when and on what basis? And if I can have leave, sir, I can explain. Leave granted. The Hon. D.G. PISONI House of Assembly Unley The Hon. D.G. PISONI: FOI documents reveal that the member for MacKillop, only months after leaving the Liberal Party, wrote to the Treasurer seeking an additional office closer to Adelaide and extra staff. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Treasurer Minister for Defence and Space Industries Minister for Police The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Police) (14:53): Yes, as part of the exodus from the Liberal Party over the course of this parliamentary term, the member for MacKillop did leave the parliamentary Liberal Party and, like a number of regional MPs who have sought second electorate offices because of the geographic expanse of their electorates, one has been approved for the member for MacKillop. I will provide a full list of regional MPs who have more than one electorate office, and I will furnish it to the member for Unley and to the house so everybody is aware of how many people have had the benefit of having MPs who are able to cover large geographic areas and hence be represented in this place. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I declare I've got two: one on Kangaroo Island and one on the mainland.
