Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:15): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Did the minister receive complimentary tickets on 1 February 2020 to attend a Fatboy Slim concert from an event organiser or a relevant department, and will the minister declare any such gift on his Register of Members' Interests? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: According to records released by the Speaker this week to the parliament, the minister lodged a claim for the country members' allowance for the same day as the Fatboy Slim concert on 1 February 2020.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:16): I have no understanding of the basis of the claim that the member is making. I am happy to make inquiries, but again I am happy to have a look at the substance of what the member for West Torrens is claiming and—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —to make those inquiries.
