Register of Members' Interests

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I understand that the Leader of Government Business is referring to the phrase 'caught out'. It may be that the question can be put again quite simply.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Has the minister taken steps to update his register of interests, and would he like to take this opportunity to give an apology to the house?

The SPEAKER: Before the minister answers, I observe that Speakers Atkinson and Tarzia have permitted questions in relation to a register of interests, which is tabled in the house.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: I took steps yesterday, obviously, to update the register, and I do take this opportunity to apologise to the house.

The SPEAKER: Member for Chaffey.

Mr WHETSTONE: Thank you.

An honourable member interjecting:

Mr WHETSTONE: Build a bridge.
