Site Contamination, Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park
Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): Supplementary, sir. My supplementary is: why didn't the government follow the standard EPA protocol on their website, which states:
The EPA's first steps are to place notification on the EPA public register, the EPA website and a public notice in the local media.
The Hon. J.M. Rankine interjecting:
The SPEAKER: The Minister for Education is called to order. Minister for Manufacturing.
The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:18): I believe, simply by my own observation, there is information on the EPA website, because I had a look at it earlier today. What I am uncertain about in terms of what the leader is quoting to me is whether, when it states 'first steps', that would, on my understanding of how these things work, come after due diligence has been done on the data and a determination of what the accurate information would be. Today, as I say, I have looked on the EPA website and there is material there. So it would seem to me, on the face of it, that they have fulfilled that. In terms of an advertisement in the local paper, I am uncertain about that.
The SPEAKER: A second question.
