Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (16:59): My question is to the Minister for Housing and Urban Development. Firstly, do pages 544 to 571 of the documents tabled by the Attorney today represent the final deed that was entered into between ACP and the Minister for Urban Development and Renewal SA?

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, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (17:00): I thank the honourable member for her question. As I hope I explained in providing my ministerial statement, the documents that were produced today are a copy of the documents which were tendered in the Supreme Court in the context of the recent litigation which was heard by Mr Justice Blue.

There are some documents that were tendered in connection with that matter which were dealt with in confidence. There are some documents which were tendered either, as I understand it—I am not saying this is my own knowledge, but what I understand from what I have been told, there might have been excerpts from documents that were tendered, rather than the entire document.

I am not able to say with any certainty what the answer to the honourable member's question is because I would need to sit down with her and see those documents, communicate with the Crown and then find out exactly what we are dealing with. I am not going to have a guess at what the answer to that question is about those documents.

It is altogether possible that what was actually tendered in the court was something which was an excerpt rather than the whole document, but I think the only way I can give a definitive answer to the honourable member's question is for her to discuss this with me afterwards and show me what she has got, and I will attempt to ascertain exactly what the nature of that document is, relevant to the document she has asked about.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, member for Bragg.
