The SPEAKER: Order! Point of order.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: It is a courtesy to the house to seek its leave before explaining a question.

Ms CHAPMAN: It's in the question. Would you like me to repeat the question, Madam Speaker—

The SPEAKER: Yes.

Ms CHAPMAN: —just for the benefit of the member for Elder? Why has Shared Services taken over Housing SA's financial services, and I quote from the SA Housing Trust board minutes, 'Housing SA was the only statutory authority that Shared Services requested taking over the financial accounting process.'

The SPEAKER: Member for Bragg, I think you did have your explanation mixed up with your question. However, the minister can choose to answer it. Minister.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Housing, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability) (15:18): The member for Bragg gives us a quote from Housing Trust board minutes but gives us no detail of those board minutes.
