Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17:31): Supplementary: between the meeting of the Premier in June 2013 with Mr Spencer, which has been referred to, and the cabinet meeting to grant the approval, there was a period of assessment by Renewal SA of the proposal. I was specifically asking, in that period, what involvement there was of the Premier in that process?

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) (17:31): I suspect that, because the Premier at the relevant time was the treasurer, if I'm not mistaken, then it is clear from the material which has been publicly revealed that officers of the Treasury produced coordinating comments—additional comments, addenda—to a cabinet submission, so there was some Treasury perspective on this offered as part and parcel of the cabinet submission. I guess one could say that the Premier, wearing his hat as treasurer, had officers who provided information which supplemented the material before the cabinet. Aside from that, so far as I am aware, the situation is simply that the Premier participated, as the rest of us did, in the cabinet process.
