Matter of Privilege

Matter of Privilege

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:34): I rise on a matter of privilege. The Premier, in answer to a question during question time, claimed that the position of Deputy Premier was legislated within the Administrative Arrangements Act, a statute of this house. Sir, that is not the case. I ask whether you could inquire into whether or not a matter of privilege exists, and a prima facie case, and give precedence to a motion to establish a privileges committee to investigate the Premier for deliberately and intentionally misleading the parliament.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens has raised a matter of privilege. I invite the member for West Torrens and other members to furnish me with any materials relating to the matter raised and I will return to the house with my ruling.
