Ministerial Appointment

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:02): Supplementary, sir: I am certainly not imputing anything improper; I am just asking the question.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for West Torrens!

Mr PEDERICK: My supplementary is: did any Labor members of parliament or union members support you in your re-election, sir?

The SPEAKER: Point of order. There is a point of order from the member for West Torrens.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for West Torrens will be heard on a point of order. I must give precedence to the point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Thank you, sir. Standing order 96: none of these matters raised by the member for Hammond relate to the ministerial responsibilities of the minister.

The SPEAKER: Member for Hammond, do you wish to address me on the point of order, otherwise—

Mr PEDERICK: I have another question, sir.

The SPEAKER: That may be, but for the moment, member for Hammond, consider that standing order 96 has been raised with me. It doesn't seem to me that the activities of members of the community in the electorate mentioned, or any other electorate, are relevant to the minister's responsibilities immediately to the house. The member for Hammond has the call.
