Minister for Environment and Water

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier received any correspondence from any member of the public complaining about the Minister for Environment and Water making threats in phone calls after people have disagreed with him on social media?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:08): I have not seen anything, and I must say that the only correspondence I receive about the Minister for Environment and Water is extraordinarily glowing. In fact, I can hardly go anywhere near his electorate.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: In fact, I feel quite inadequate because people talk about him as an extraordinary member of parliament, somebody who is very, very in tune with the electorate and all the things which are fantastic about his electorate. He is doing a very good job in his portfolio and as the cabinet secretary, so it is a big gold star for the Minister for Environment and Water as far as I'm concerned.
