MINISTERIAL CODE OF CONDUCT

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Will the Minister for Youth acknowledge that he has broken the Ministerial Code of Conduct? The Premier, as the then leader of the opposition, in his 2002 campaign launch stated:

Labor is committed fully to honesty in government. South Australians have had enough of the scandals and cover-ups. I want every member of parliament to sign and obey a code of conduct.

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) (14:45): I have not broken any code of conduct. I was asked a question about an allegation made and I stand by my answer to that allegation.
