Australian Craniofacial Unit

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:16): My question is again to the minister representing the Minister for Health. Has the minister now apologised to South Australian of the Year, Professor David David, for his inaccurate and offensive statements yesterday?

The SPEAKER: 'Inaccurate and offensive', member for Kaurna, would be seen to be slightly out of order. Would you like to rephrase the question, sir?

Mr PICTON: I will rephrase the question, Mr Speaker.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! If that sort of thing happens again, I will move on to the government.

Mr PICTON: Yes. I will rephrase the question, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: Thank you.

Mr PICTON: My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health. Has the minister now apologised to South Australian of the Year, Professor David David, for his statements yesterday?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:17): Professor David David, who I referred to yesterday three or four times in this chamber as a great Australian and a great South Australian—that Professor David David—no, I haven't apologised to him because I did not reflect negatively on him—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —in any way whatsoever. In fact, as I said, three or four times I called him a great Australian and a great South Australian. There was nothing negative that I said about Professor David David, so I'm not sure what the shadow minister thinks I should be apologising for.
