Legislative Council President

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): My question is to the Premier. Prior to endorsing the Hon. Russell Wortley as the President of the other place, did the Premier investigate allegations of corruption against this member?

The SPEAKER: Again, I wouldn't have thought that the Premier in the House of Assembly is responsible for the appointment of the President in the other place. I just think the question is out of order. Deputy leader?

Mr Marshall: Sorry?

The SPEAKER: I don't think the Premier has any responsibility to the house for the appointment of the President in another place.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is called to order.

Mr van Holst Pellekaan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Stuart is called to order. The leader has a question.
