Question Time

MOUNT BARKER DEVELOPMENT

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): Can the Premier advise why the government used a consultant who had a clear conflict of interest through their involvement with developers in Mount Barker to prepare strategic government planning documents as discussed in the Ombudsman's report?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:13): This is now the third day running that substantially the same questions have been asked, this time by the leader and not the deputy leader, and I will give again the same answer that I have given before: I will be making a statement to the parliament about this matter when I have had an opportunity to consider it properly.
