Freedom of Information

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:50): My question again is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Can the minister guarantee that the contents of that FOI were not tampered with and that she or her office did not breach—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr TARZIA: —the Protective Security Framework and the State Records Act? With the leave of the house, I will explain.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for West Torrens, member for Florey! Leave is sought; is leave granted?

Leave granted.

Mr TARZIA: The response to my FOI request was delivered to my electorate office letterbox in a beige envelope—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr TARZIA: —which had no stamp on it and no identification of the person who sent it, and it did contain several documents that were identified as sensitive.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Treasurer is called to order. Order, member for Badcoe, member for Wright! The minister has the call.

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:52): Thank you to the member for his question about 1681120A and the missing stamp and now also the beige-coloured envelope.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens!

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD: I will certainly follow that matter up.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens! The minister has the call.

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD: I will certainly follow that matter up, but again I would say that I am quite fastidious about adhering to processes and procedures in relation to FOI. As the member himself spoke about, I have made the necessary declarations and will continue to make those declarations, and I will certainly also follow up on the delivery method for that particular set of documents.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Treasurer is called to order. The member for West Torrens is called to order. The health minister is called to order.
