Member for Waite

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My question is to the Premier. Why did the Premier tell the media that 'there have already been consequences before this inquiry is known. He has resigned from the Economic and Finance Committee'?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:49): I think that has been in the public domain. The member for Waite was the Presiding Member of the Economic and Finance Committee and I think it's very well aware that he has resigned that position. That comes with a very significant financial penalty, which has now been put in place.

Mr Brown: That's not what you said.

The SPEAKER: Member for Playford, helpful as always, you are on two warnings.
