NationBuilder

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:03): My question is to the Premier. How does the Premier sustain his commitment to the house that there has been no data tracking or collection when the Liberal Party NationBuilder software has installed cookies on the computers of the people of South Australia?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order, sir: you have been incredibly generous with the member for Kaurna, and you have given him opportunities to ask his questions in the right format, and once again he has—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —violated standing order 97, trying to introduce what he alleges are facts without seeking leave.

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order, and I will give the member for Kaurna the opportunity to seek leave, as is required by standing order 97. Before I do so, I warn the member for Schubert and I warn the member for Chaffey.

Mr PICTON: I seek leave to introduce facts.

Leave granted.

Mr PICTON: How does the Premier sustain his commitment to the house that there has been no data tracking or collection when the Liberal Party NationBuilder software has installed cookies into the computers of the people of South Australia?

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Energy and Mining on a point of order.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Mr Speaker, the member just asked the question in exactly the same way as he did the first time, after you generously offered him so much help.

The SPEAKER: The member for Kaurna sought and obtained leave to introduce facts. He has included certain facts that are asserted in the course of asking the question, and he's framed it as part of the question, so I don't uphold the point of order. The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:05): First of all, when given the opportunity, the member for Kaurna inserted facts or presented facts. We do not accept for one moment these as facts. These are assertions, and the member has failed to provide any evidence whatsoever with regard to this matter.
