Personal Explanation

Member for Heysen

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (11:01): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Dr McFETRIDGE: Last night during the debate on the privileges matter that was put before the house, the member for Heysen said:

I know that the member for Morphett also tried to raise the issue of the president of the Housing Trust Tenants Association, who was putting out absolutely false allegations about policy…

She continued on, and then you, Mr Speaker, said:

I don't want to interrupt the member for Heysen unnecessarily, but I have a letter from the Electoral Commissioner saying that no complaint had been made.

The Liberal Party wrote, on my behalf, to the Electoral Commissioner on 24 February 2014. I have a reply from the Electoral Commissioner on 25 February 2014, signed 'Kay Mousley, Electoral Commissioner'. The Liberal Party wrote again on 27 February 2014, and I have a reply from the Electoral Commissioner, signed 'Kay Mousley', on 27 February 2014.

The SPEAKER: I shall get my letter from the Electoral Commission and we will compare notes.

Dr McFETRIDGE: Thank you, sir.
