Question Time

Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Sir, my question is to you regarding allowances. Why does the White Pages list your sole contact address at Norwood, and are you claiming any parliamentary allowances for telephone services or line rentals at your Norwood home?

The PRESIDENT (14:26): I'm happy to answer that question. No, I am not claiming any line services. My internet at my Norwood property is by landline, so I only use a mobile phone. If you ring the number listed in the White Pages, you are never going to get a response because I don't use it.
