MOUNT BARKER DEVELOPMENT

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): My question again is to the Minister for Planning. Do records exist of meetings between the former minister for planning and the developers of Mount Barker and/or their lobbyists; and in the event that the minister is not personally aware of that, will he make that inquiry and report back to the house?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:38): Can I just explain again that I have to ascertain a response and an understanding of this matter after reading the material. There is an unknown amount of material involved and I am asking the people in the department to provide me with the material and briefings so that I can respond, as I have indicated I will.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: For goodness sake. I am not going to give a half-considered response to you or to this parliament, because that would not be reasonable.
