House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Southern Expressway SOUTHERN EXPRESSWAY Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition SOUTHERN EXPRESSWAY Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): Supplementary to the Minister for Transport. Will the minister now release the whole of the costing document for the interchange and Darlington— The Hon. P.F. Conlon House of Assembly The Hon. P.F. Conlon: What's that supplementary to? Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: That he's just referred to in the figures—which he has partially released publicly. The Hon. P.F. Conlon House of Assembly The Hon. P.F. Conlon: He didn't refer to the document. Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: He did. You're not listening, Patrick. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Minister for Housing and Urban Development The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:11): I find it interesting that the opposition asks for the official costings after they have announced the project. Members interjecting: The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Now they're saying they didn't announce it. So, when the Leader of the Opposition was standing next to Tony Abbott on the side of the road saying the Darlington Interchange was a good idea, he wasn't announcing it. Is that what you're telling us? It was a figment of your imagination, was it? They just ran into each other—they just happened to be there? Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: It's a point of order from the deputy leader. Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: Clearly a question of relevance and debate. I have asked a simple question of whether— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes, thank you, deputy leader, I have it. Would the minister care to help with providing some information? The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Mr Speaker, what I will be doing is sharing the costings with the federal shadow minister. Last time I checked, the federal shadow transport minister was seeking to become the federal minister for transport, and if somehow he doesn't represent your views you should say so, because your leader stood on the side of the road with your counterpart federally and endorsed this project. I am happy to share those costs with the people proposing it. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I think that's the answer to the question. It may not be satisfactory from your point of view, but it is the answer to the question. Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: I was actually leaping to my feet to defend you as accusations were made against you and your leader, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Good point.
