Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:11): My question is to the Deputy Premier. Is the Deputy Premier aware that her personal website had a parliamentary profile page directing that all correspondence be sent to agd@agd.sa.gov.au?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:11): Absolutely—

The Hon. S.S. Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Attorney-General.

The Hon. S.S. Marshall: You are a fraud!

The SPEAKER Order!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —and so—

The Hon. S.S. Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Premier!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —when the opposition—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER Order!

The Hon. S.S. Marshall: Hopeless!

The SPEAKER: Premier!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: When the shadow attorney-general wants to communicate, he sends it to us, to our office, to the minister's office and we attend to it, but when the Leader of the Opposition wants to play too cute by half and try to say, 'Look, I sent it Sunday night to the Attorney-General,' and we check—let me tell you, Mr Speaker, I check everything. I checked my email, the parliamentary email, the front and back doors of my house. I checked the electorate office. I checked the Parliament House office just in case it had been left outside my door. I checked the minister's office. I asked everyone in my office, 'Have you received an email from the Leader of the Opposition last night?' No, absolutely nothing, and so we had reasonable belief that either it hadn't been delivered or the courier pigeon was still on its way.
