          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:06):</by>  My question is to the Minister for State Development. That is you, Tom. Has the minister received any request from ACP to promote the Gillman project to potential investors or potential users of the site and, if so, has the minister participated in the same?</text>

KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:06):</by>  I am the Treasurer and the Minister for State Development and it is my duty on behalf of South Australians to promote the economic activity going on in this state. I, for one, am more than happy to meet with anyone who is proposing to invest their hard-earned dollars in South Australia. If it is an oil and gas company, if it is an iron ore company, if it is a property developer, whether it is a Wokinabox franchise, whoever it is who wants to invest their hard-earned money in South Australia, this government is prepared to stand up and say we are open for business. If you are a franchisee or a franchisor, we are here to help.</text>
