ADELAIDE ZOO

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:21): My question is to the Treasurer. When the Adelaide Zoo undertook the recent upgrade, did the government, through then treasurer Foley, meet with Westpac about the Zoo and, if so, why? Did the government give Westpac any assurances or undertakings, verbal or otherwise?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation) (14:21): I don't know whether there were any meetings between treasurer Foley and Westpac at the time. I would have to check, but I have repeatedly checked that there were no undertakings given to Westpac and been reassured that that was not the case.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
