Integrity Care SA

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier's government received any advice from the police commissioner or anyone from SAPOL that they are under no circumstances to check if Integrity Care are employing people without the appropriate clearance?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:12): Again, I can't be certain of any others, but I think the parliament has already been informed—

The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Mawson, we've got the question.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —that I received a briefing in relation to this matter that the police commissioner had received advice in relation to the statement that was going to be at that stage made by the police on the day of 15 May. I can't be any clearer: I will not in any way cut across the investigation of the police in relation to that matter—

Mr Malinauskas interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Leader!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —including Integrity Care. I simply won't contravene that request. If the member as a citizen wants to make some other approach to the police commissioner, he can do so, but I cannot make any further statement on this matter.

The SPEAKER: I am going to switch to the member for Heysen and I will come back to the member for Hurtle Vale. The member for Heysen has the call.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Leader, be quiet. Member for Heysen.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens, you are on two warnings.
