DRIVING RECORD

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Following his response to the house yesterday, has the minister now checked whether he has had a car repossessed? Court records show a judgment debt of $7,509 against Anastasious Koutsantonis for moneys owing to Australian Guarantee Corporation. The records also show that a warrant for sale was issued on 18 March 2003, and a payment was subsequently made to Australian Guarantee Corporation. In the Magistrates Court warrant, the sheriff is directed to 'sell such of the real and personal property of the defendant as are within the state of South Australia to satisfy the above total owing plus interest'.

The SPEAKER: Again, I indicated to the house yesterday that I am not sure what responsibility the minister has to the house for this matter.

Mrs REDMOND: The question is asked on the basis that the minister indicated to the house yesterday that he would check and advise the house.

The SPEAKER: Fair enough. I will give the minister an opportunity to respond.

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) (14:36): I will start by saying that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my past traffic infringements. It is an entirely personal legal matter. It does not bear on my duties as an MP or a minister.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I do not think you are in a position to say that.
