Private Email Accounts

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:22): Supplementary to the Deputy Premier: if everybody is aware of the obligations, then why has the Hon. Stephen Wade been operating a server and admitted to receiving government emails through it?

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier has the call.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:22): The member asserts—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —that there has been a breach of his use of a private email. In fact, as the member probably already knows, if he actually looked on Mr Wade's website, it already identifies that if there is government business to be conveyed to him, a government address is provided and to be used, and if private material is to be conveyed to him, another address is provided.

To suggest that there is an assertion that a minister of this government—in this case, the Hon. Stephen Wade—has in some way deliberately tried to subvert the records act when he, on his own material, probably more than anyone else—

Mr Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens can depart under standing order 137A.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —has made it absolutely clear—

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier will be seated for one moment. The member for West Torrens will leave for the remainder of question time. Thank you.

The honourable member for West Torrens having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: The minister has made it absolutely clear on the auto-reply in relation to his communications with him as to which address that is to be referred to, so I would ask the shadow minister, if he hasn't already done so, to take note of that and cease such tawdry allegations.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Kaurna.
