| South Australian treasurer Tom Koutsantonis has breached the spirit of the state's ministerial code of conduct, Premier Jay Weatherill says.
Mr Koutsantonis is likely to keep his job despite growing pressure from the state opposition for him to better explain his use of "foul, gutter" language in government meetings or resign.
Mr Weatherill told state parliament on Thursday the treasurer's conduct was the subject of an hour-long meeting during which he was told such behaviour could not continue.
"Whatever the strict legal application of the ministerial code of conduct, it's certainly not consistent with the spirit of the code of conduct and that's why the minister apologised and that's why he was reprimanded," the premier said.
"People need to conduct themselves with dignity and it (the behaviour) is inconsistent with that."
