Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer accept his portrayal as a witness by Commissioner Lander who said, and I quote:

I found that Minister Koutsantonis was inclined not to answer direct questions directly…Witnesses who do not answer questions directly do not assist.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:24): I answered all questions—

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I accept all the findings of the commissioner, but I did my very best to cooperate with his inquiry, as did my office to cooperate with his inquiry. I did my very best to give evidence to him, and I took an oath while I gave that evidence.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for the second and final time and the member for Stuart is warned. Deputy leader.
