          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29):</by>  Sir, my question is to you regarding allowances. For the purposes of the country members' accommodation allowance, what has been your usual place of residence during the last 10 years and, to be very clear, can you inform the chamber of exactly when you moved to Victor Harbor?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1819">The PRESIDENT (14:29):</by>  I am happy to let the chamber know that I purchased what was to become my official residence in I think it was 2010 and later, in 2011, was the official move. But, the honourable Leader of the Opposition, I refer you to my statement. I have urgently asked the Auditor-General—I have written to the Auditor-General asking the Auditor-General to review all country members' allowances and to give mine some priority so that there is actually some clarity.</text>
