Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Did the minister attend any meetings with Adelaide Capital Partners last year, when he was deputy chief of staff to the Premier?

The SPEAKER: I don't think the minister can be responsible to the house for things he did before he was a minister.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: If this is a question about the Gillman land deal, it should be directed to either the Deputy Premier or the Premier. Questions of ministers about what their involvement was with things—

The SPEAKER: Yes. Well, I agree with that. I agree with the Minister for Health and, therefore, it is quite in order for the Treasurer to answer it, or the Premier.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: Could you ask it again?

Ms CHAPMAN: I certainly can. Did the now Minister for Transport attend any meetings with Adelaide Capital Partners last year, during the time that he was the deputy chief of staff to the Premier?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:51): I'm not aware of the answer to that question, but we will make inquiries and we'll find out what the answer is.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for the first time.

An honourable member: Second.

The SPEAKER: The second time? I'm sorry; second time.
