Brand South Australia

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): My question is to the Premier. When the Premier's Chief Executive of DPC informed Mr Peter Joy that Brand SA's funding was cut, did he do so with the Premier's approval?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:33): I genuinely believe we have canvassed this issue in plenty of detail. There are assertions which have been made in the parliament today which I don't necessarily agree with.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: There has been an assertion today by the member for West Torrens—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Kaurna, Member for Lee and the member for Ramsay, if I see anyone flash what I think is a prop, they will be departing the chamber immediately.

Mr Picton: A piece of paper?

The SPEAKER: Yes, props.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: I don't know what you did at uni, but that's no prop.

The SPEAKER: Yes. The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: There is an assertion which has been made in the parliament today by the member for West Torrens that there was a decision made and conveyed to Brand SA on a certain date. I have no knowledge of that, so I am happy to go and discuss that with my department, and if there is anything that I need to come back with and update the house on then I will do so. But I hope the assertion made by the member for West Torrens is accurate, otherwise he may have misled the parliament.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order: I ask the Premier to withdraw and apologise for that last assertion.

The SPEAKER: If the Premier or anyone else starts to say that someone may have or may not have misled the parliament, we are on ground that I don't think we want to get into for the dignity of the house. So I ask members not to put those kinds of remarks on the record. Would the Premier like to withdraw just that final statement?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Happy to withdraw, sir.

The SPEAKER: Thank you. The Leader of the Opposition has the call.
