TREASURER'S REMARKS

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): My question is again to the Treasurer. When the Treasurer said in his ministerial statement on 22 June, 'On 2 March I was asked questions regarding the development and I made reference to having met with Mr Whicker in recent days,' how does he explain that he can remember the meeting on 19 February but not that the cost blowouts were discussed at that meeting?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:57): That is not, in fact, a fair reflection of what has been said.

Mrs Redmond: Yes, it is.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: What I have said is that—

Mrs Redmond: You said that.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: If you want to answer the question for me, go right ahead. That's all right, I'm done.
