Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): My supplementary question is to the Treasurer. When the Treasurer made the statement to The Australian in December last year in respect of this six months, did he mean six months or six months in a colloquial sense, or six months give or take a year? Could he explain to the house what he meant by 'six months'?

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) (14:26): I know the Treasurer pretty well, and I am pretty sure what he meant was 'in about six months'. I am pretty confident that's what he meant, and I am confident, having studied the matters, that he was dead right in having said that and everything is going as anticipated.

Ms CHAPMAN: A supplementary sir, if I may.

The SPEAKER: A third supplementary from the deputy leader.
