DRIVING RECORD

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (16:22): My question is again for the Minister for Correctional Services. During the term of the Rann government has the minister had his car repossessed?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: On a point of order, Mr Speaker, my understanding is that, were it the case, it is a civil matter between one party and another and is not a matter of any responsibility the minister has to the house.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I point out that some people in the house get upset and quite angry when you refer to them being bankrupt, even by interjection. I just wonder if that is the responsibility of the minister to the house.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I do agree with the minister: the minister has no responsibility to the house for such matters. However, the question has been asked and, if the minister wants to answer it, I will give him the opportunity to do so.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (16:22): I have tried to keep a comprehensive record—more than any other member sitting opposite. I have asked the police commissioner, the Courts Administration Authority, DTEI and Fleet SA to give me a full record of all my offences. That is something that no member opposite has done. I remind members that none of the offending occurred while I was a minister. I do not remember a car of mine ever being repossessed but I will check.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
