Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Ministerial Code of Conduct Ministerial Code of Conduct The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Ministerial Code of Conduct The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:09): Supplementary question: is it the Premier who has the final call on whether a minister has breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct and what processes are followed to ensure that there is independent oversight? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Ministerial Code of Conduct The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:09): It is always the Premier's judgement in relation to his or her Ministerial Code of Conduct. It is the code of conduct that applies to ministers. The Premier can seek advice should he so choose in relation to particular issues or he may well make his own judgements. These are ultimately matters for the Premier of the day to make a decision on. As I said, I have the utmost faith in the Leader of the Government, the Premier, that whatever decision he has made he has given due consideration to it and made a judgement which I support 100 per cent.
