Members, Accommodation Allowances

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:06): My question is to the Premier. On what date did the Premier stay at the home of the member for Chaffey? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr MALINAUSKAS: Yesterday, in the parliament the Premier said, and I quote, 'I have stayed with the member for Chaffey in his fine electorate.'

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:07): I provided that information to the house yesterday. My question to the Leader of the Opposition is: where is he staying at the moment? We are not sure that he is living in his electorate. We are not sure that many of those opposite are living in their electorate. I like to visit the people around the place.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Where are you living at the moment?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: What possible requirement can there be from the Leader of the Opposition? Perhaps he can give some indication to his rather opaque questions so far today.
