The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:27): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier inform the house where Terry Stephens' primary place of residence is? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: The Premier has been asked publicly on three occasions for Terry Stephens' principal place of residence. On one occasion, he said it was in Norwood. On another occasion, he said he didn't know. Today, he said it was Victor Harbor.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:27): I'm not sure what the member is referring to when I said Norwood. I think that was something that I corrected during that same sentence, so I think it is completely and utterly inappropriate—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —completely and utterly inappropriate—

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Lee!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —but not unexpected for the member for West Torrens to put that onto Hansard.

The Hon. T.J. Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Minister for Primary Industries!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Let this parliament be very clear—

Mr Malinauskas interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Leader!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the primary place of residence for the President of the Legislative Council is in fact in Victor Harbor.
