Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:01): My question is to the Treasurer, who was then the housing and urban development minister. Can you remember going to this meeting?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Is there any chance the Deputy Premier might consult the Treasurer on the answer?

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) (15:01): I may, but can I say this, that according to my recollection neither of us were there, to the best of my recollection, because I do not have any recollection of the meeting. But, as I also said before, it is not like, if any of us were having a meeting to talk about this, we were going to be having it in some clandestine fashion, hidden away from everybody, because in the end we have said to everybody, 'Yes, this proposal came up, cabinet said, "Yes, we like it and we are going for it."' That fact is inconsistent with us putting on disguises and hiding in places to have a talk in secret.

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader promised that that would be her last supplementary.

Ms CHAPMAN: It was the last supplementary, but I am now going to ask another question, if I may, sir.

The SPEAKER: You are not, because I am calling the member for Taylor.
