House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Economic Statement ECONOMIC STATEMENT Mr HAMILTON-SMITH House of Assembly Waite ECONOMIC STATEMENT Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (15:18): Supplementary. Given the Premier's answer to the question, can he clarify whether he showed a copy of the draft or the document to the EDB before making it public? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: That is a supplementary. The Premier. The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (15:18): I did not send a final draft to any bodies outside of government. This is a document which was seen by cabinet and finalised by the government. It is not a proper document to be sent to any outside agency, although I must say elements of the document have been seen (appropriately) by relevant agencies that could assist us with elements of it. Can I say that this has been a document that has been produced over the last three months or so. On 15 October, I announced to a CEDA conference that it was my intention to prepare this document. I invited a very wide range of input. I certainly sought input for that from the Economic Development Board and I was very grateful for the input they provided, but it is not their document. I did not seek their endorsement, nor did I provide them with a copy of the document seeking their endorsement.
