The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: PIRSA staff to treat the former member for Hammond like any other explorer?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: That is the instruction I have had from day one, that is, that any member of parliament should be treated no differently from any member of the public—and I am happy to own up to that.
