Matter of Privilege

Matter of Privilege, Speaker's Statement

The SPEAKER (12:20): Before I call the next speaker, I refer to a statement I made in the house yesterday concerning a matter of privilege raised by the member for West Torrens in respect of the Premier allegedly misleading the house in relation to an answer concerning funding to Brand SA. As part of the statement, I said the following:

The fact that Mr Joy chose to disseminate correspondence he had received concerning the government's movements on Brand SA funding cannot, in my opinion, be considered sufficient enough to be regarded as the government's announcement in relation to Brand SA's funding.

I would like to qualify those remarks by saying that I did not intend to assert that Mr Joy was the source of any leak but, rather, that correspondence addressed to Mr Joy found its way into the public forum. So I retract that assertion and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused Mr Joy.
