Infrastructure South Australia

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary question: if the legislation to institute Infrastructure South Australia passes the parliament—

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Point of order, Mr Speaker: the question is a hypothetical.

The SPEAKER: I haven't heard the question, but I anticipate that it may be hypothetical.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! The Premier is called to order. If there is going to be a point of order about whether a hypothetical question is a hypothetical question, we will hear the question in its entirety.

Mr MALINAUSKAS: Will the Premier refer his own GlobeLink plan to Infrastructure South Australia?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: that is a hypothetical question.

The SPEAKER: Postulating a state of affairs that does not exist is a hypothetical question. I uphold the point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I have ruled the question out of order, Premier, thank you. Member for Davenport.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Don't ask hypothetical questions. Does the member for Lee have something to say?
