Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time NationBuilder NationBuilder The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council NationBuilder The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:24): Supplementary: can the Treasurer confirm that nobody has received an email as a result of filling in a government form and that email originating from the Liberal Party? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council NationBuilder The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:24): I can only repeat the assurance that the Premier has given, and let me repeat it again. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: 'The Marshall Liberal government has not been using state government websites to collect or track data for the Liberal Party. Reports that this has occurred are false.' Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Treasurer, resume your seat. The Hon. Ms Franks asked a supplementary question. I think she would like to hear the answer. The Hon. R.P. Wortley interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wortley, you are out of order— The Hon. D.W. Ridgway Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Hear, hear! The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: —and so is the Hon. Mr Ridgway. An honourable member Legislative Council An honourable member: Chuck him out then. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. D.W. Ridgway interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: You are out of order. I think the Hon. Ms Franks deserves to hear the answer, and at the moment I am struggling to. She is further away than I am, so I would ask that the Treasurer be heard in silence. The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: What I would also add is that all political parties—the Labor Party, indeed the Greens and the Liberal Party, if they collect petitions and names on petitions—do send material to them if it's petitions that they have collected or that have been publicly collected. So all political parties, including the Greens, email signatories to publicly available petitions—'Save the Repat' or the like. There are many thousands of those over the years who I am sure got emails from all sorts of people. In relation to the critical issue, which is actually the important issue of taxpayer funding and government-owned websites and the like, the Premier has been unequivocal in his statements. I have repeated it twice. I can say no more. We in the government are steadfast behind the Premier's unequivocal denials in relation to this particular issue.
