Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Government Business GOVERNMENT BUSINESS The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council GOVERNMENT BUSINESS The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:41): My question is to you, Mr President. Given the government's decision not to replace a resignation with a second minister in this house, can the President explain to the house how this house will function if, indeed, the minister happens to take ill and is not available? Will we still have a question time, sir? Will we still be able to run this house, or will we be forced to close? Secondly, will the minister—given that the government has chosen to have only one minister—not be able to attend ministerial council meetings to represent South Australia's interests? I think this is a very important question, and I seek an answer from you, sir. The Hon. R.K. SNEATH Legislative Council GOVERNMENT BUSINESS The Hon. R.K. SNEATH (14:42): I am sure that the house will continue to operate and stay open for business.
