Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:31): Again for the Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy: can the minister confirm which companies which were unsuccessful in their tender for PEL 570 he wrote to advise them of that, as per the act?

The SPEAKER: Minister.

The Hon. T.R. Kenyon interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Newland is called to order. He has been doing it all day.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:31): I assume it was done by the minister's delegate, but I will get an answer back to the house. Given that I delegate all my powers under the act for this process, all I simply did was make the public announcement.
