          <by role="member" id="1810">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) (14:52):</by>  I think the fact of the matter is we have already answered infinite numbers of questions, really. We provided a ministerial statement to the parliament and we also provided a number of documents which were provided on the advice of the Crown. That is really the best exposition we can give in relation to this matter.</text>
        <text id="201502116f2ce4d3e2d541eaa0000929">Can I say, as has been said many times here and I think it is important to say it again and say it very clearly: the Premier, the current Treasurer, myself and other members of the government have always maintained that ultimately the decision about this matter was a decision for the cabinet and the cabinet had to come to its own view about what was in the best interests of the people of South Australia.</text>
        <text id="201502116f2ce4d3e2d541eaa0000930">It is not appropriate for any of us as members of the cabinet to be going into detail about the nature of those conversations and the progress that was made along that path. All of us have said several times that it was a decision made by the cabinet. We stand by that: it was a cabinet decision.</text>
