Government Grants

The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:08): Supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: I will listen to it, but we have spent enough time on this and I need to keep this thing moving.

The Hon. B.R. HOOD: Given the minister has spoken about responsibility of government and the opposition, does he believe that it is responsible that his government, through a systemic failure of cabinet, granted a $1 million grant without proper approval, and does he believe that the people of South Australia have faith in the institution of his government—all the words he used in his response?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. B.R. Hood interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ben Hood, this will be the last couple of minutes you spend in this place today if you keep it up. We are going to move to the Hon. Ms Lee. That was not a supplementary question.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Attorney-General, same rules apply to you.
