Minister for Infrastructure and Transport

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Has any member of his electorate office staff ever informed the member they didn't feel safe in his electorate office as a result of his conduct?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order: same point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Every time the member or any of his colleagues asks the same style of question, I will raise the same point of order.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee on the point of order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Standing order 96 makes it absolutely clear under subsection (2) that questions can be referred to members if they are responsible to the house for those matters. There is no basis on which you can rule that the Treasurer is responsible for the behaviour of the member for Gibson—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: —on no basis whatsoever.

The Hon. V.A. Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, Deputy Premier!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: I know the Deputy Premier is trying to get me to move dissent in you, sir. I am trying to explain my point of order. There is no basis, sir, on which the behaviour of a minister of the Crown and a member of this place should be held to account via the Treasurer.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: He is to be held directly to account by this chamber.

The SPEAKER: Order! I have heard the member for Lee on the point of order. I rule on the point of order. I uphold the point of order. The question is out of order.
