Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:10): Further supplementary: will the Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development advise the house whether he has attended any meetings with Mr Stephen Gerlach or other boards of directors of Adelaide Capital Partners?

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) (15:11): Again, look, these—

Ms Chapman: He's the minister assisting!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Yes, he is many things—

Ms Chapman: And he can answer the question well enough.

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader is warned a second and final time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: The question that was asked is an open-ended question in relation to periods of time during which the minister assisting was not even a member of the parliament, let alone a minister of the Crown. The position is that there is nothing that can be offered by way of assistance in respect of those particular questions.

Can I also add this: there are matters floating around at the present time, of which I am sure the honourable member is aware, in our court system. In fact, one of them was lodged, I believe, within the last 24 hours, relating to certain matters. In respect of those matters, there are a great many issues which touch upon things like privilege and various other things.

I do not consider it to be appropriate, in the context of those proceedings, for me—and, can I say, other members—to be answering questions about this particular matter, which is now actively being litigated by people, some of whom I understand are associated or have in the past been associated with senior members of the opposition.

So, let us just bear in mind what is going on; let those proceedings roll out as they will. Let the activities that are being agitated in other places roll out as they will. When all of that has been completed, if there are matters still to be explored, then well and good.

Ms CHAPMAN: Supplementary.

The SPEAKER: No, I am going to call the member for Kaurna. I give notice to the member for Unley that I would like him to read out the quote from Hansard on which he relied for his question that Jan Andrews was sacked for disciplinary reasons. So, I will just give him notice to obtain that quote and share the complete quote with the house. The member for Kaurna.
