POINT OF ORDER RULING

The DEPUTY SPEAKER (12:11): Before I call the next speaker, who will be the member for Norwood, I would just like to report on a matter which arose in the chamber yesterday when the member for Unley made a comment which the member for West Torrens and the minister took offence to. I have looked at the transcript provided by Hansard and I must confess that it is less than clear as to what transpired, so I will not take any further action on that matter. However, just to reinforce my concern, not so much about the original comment but the explanation, in future should I find an explanation which is dishonest or less than truthful, that will be punishable. The member for Norwood.
