Member for Kavel

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (14:56): My question is to the leader of opposition business in the house. Did the member have any discussions with the member for Kavel about the member for Kavel becoming the Speaker before the member for Kavel announced that he would leave the Liberal Party?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: There might well be a point of order in relation to that.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:56): Thank you very much. I have had many discussions with Liberal colleagues about their colleagues. Mr Speaker, I have to say that when the select committee was launched and carried into the Deputy Premier the masks went on to conceal the smiles.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: It's your question.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order, sir.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of Government Business.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Standing order 98: the question was very specifically about one member.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens, please be seated. There is robust debate in the chamber, but I remind members that they are only responsible to the house for government business. This is question time. Questions of this nature inevitably invite questions as to the motives of members, which, of course, would be out of order. I am going to turn to a question that relates to government business. Is there one? The member for King.
