FORMER MEMBER FOR HAMMOND

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I have a further supplementary question. Did the minister direct PIRSA staff after the former member for Hammond ceased to be the Speaker?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:26): Not at all, to my recollection. Any instruction I would have given is that, in all cases, individuals should be treated on their merits. Unlike members opposite, including the Hon. Rob Lucas, for example, who lives his whole life trying to get vengeance on the now Leader of the Opposition in another place for being dumped from the leadership, I do not live my life worrying about getting vengeance.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: On a point of order, Mr President, I fail to see what the Hon. Rob Lucas has to do with this question.

The PRESIDENT: The minister is—

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: The Hon. Rob Lucas has nothing to do with this question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister might have been going to say that the Hon. Rob Lucas has some mining interests as well; I do not know.
