Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Supplementary?

The SPEAKER: Deputy leader.

Ms CHAPMAN: Given the comments of Mr Hanlon, which you do not agree to in the report, how can you have confidence in him being the person asked to action the dealing of the maladministration of Mr Buchan?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:52): Well, these are opinions. These are opinions. As it happens, Mr Hanlon is not a qualified valuer, so his opinions about matters outside his areas of expertise need to be considered in that regard. Just because you do not share somebody's opinion does not mean that other elements of their expertise are not full of value.

In fact, Mr Hanlon has been an excellent chief executive of Renewal SA and has delivered an extraordinary amount of high-value projects for South Australia. I personally have a lot of confidence in him. I certainly have confidence in his capacity to carry out the work that the Deputy Premier has asked him to undertake.

Dr McFetridge interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Morphett is called to order. The deputy leader.
