KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:14): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement. Leave granted. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Minister, before you commence: we will have quiet from my left or you will leave the chamber. Thank you. Minister. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: As a result of a question from the member for Norwood, I have done some research and found out what the hell he was talking about. He was talking about the move from Terrace Towers to The Conservatory. I understand that the department moved from Terrace Towers to The Conservatory to save money. The lease was up— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —I am advised, and I have given this answer before in estimates, I think, as well, so it is an old question. It would have cost $1.6 million more over a 15-year term, and that present value of moving to The Conservatory was $1.6 million less than the option of refurbishing DTED's Terrace Towers and Pirie Street offices. That is why we spent $5 million. This question was answered in 2010, and it wasn't even your question.
