Parliamentary Standing Orders

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:08): A further supplementary: Attorney, did the Hon. Robert Simms advise you previous to question time today to be asking this question?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:08): I have discussions with many of my colleagues many times about a whole range of things, and do you know what? I thank the Hon. Robert Simms for raising this question today. We know the Hon. Robert Simms takes these matters seriously but, unlike some of those opposite, he also concentrates on matters like rent prices in South Australia. We may not always agree on the positive steps to overcome them, but I commend the Hon. Robert Simms for actually taking into account the sorts of issues that affect South Australians, rather than fighting culture wars with the ghost of the Hon. Rob Lucas.
