Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): My question is to the Hon. John Dawkins regarding allowances. Will you consent to the full and complete release of all your claims forms for the country members' accommodation allowance?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Dawkins can choose to answer that if he wishes. He is not a minister of the Crown.

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:25): I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. I have had my principal place of residence at Hayborough since late 2014, since the finalisation of my first marriage. It is a property that I have owned since 1999 but has only become my principal place of residence since then. I am more than happy for the country members' allowance since that time. Despite the fact that some people, including, I think, the Leader of the Opposition, have described me as always being a country member, my residence was always in the Gawler area, which is not 75 kilometres from Adelaide.
