GANG OF 49

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): My question is for the Premier. Can the Premier advise whether he thinks it is appropriate for ministers to make public statements regarding the Gang of 49 when this is a matter currently with the police and the courts?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:25): It seems extraordinary that the Leader of the Opposition would ask questions of ministers about the Gang of 49, but then apparently believes it is not appropriate for them to reply.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
