          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mineral Resources Development. Can the minister apprise the house of what evidence he or his government has upon which they could make a claim that an open-cut mine was being proposed for Mount Gee or within Arkaroola?</text>

KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Correctional Services) (14:43):</by>  I can't speak for mineral companies that have got exploration rights; that is a matter for them. The fact is this government will not allow mining in Arkaroola, and I welcome the opposition's support.</text>
