Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Question Time Legislative Council President Legislative Council President The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Legislative Council President The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking you, sir, a question about ensuring impropriety is not hidden. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Can I just make a comment? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I was just asking to seek leave. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: No, I am not giving leave. I have just sat through one of the most disgraceful episodes of speeches in reply I have ever heard in the eight years I have been here and probably in the history of this state. It has done this parliament no good by the fact that you have under parliamentary privilege hurled allegations at me, against some of which I have already fought defamation cases and won successfully. If you had any character at all, you would go out the front of this building and make the statements there. If your allegations have any credibility as you have said, you will sit there and I invite you to refer them to the appropriate authorities. The quicker you do it, the quicker you will be able to give me an apology. I am not accepting any questions on this. Ms Lensink.
