Gillman Land Sale

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): Is it not also a term of the contract that the state government must participate in attracting those investors to South Australia? Has any work been done by the government to attract those investors and can the government update the house?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:59): This is a very similar question to that asked by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition some time ago.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: That is right and I do. We meet—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Newland is warned for the second and final time.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: We meet and promote the economic opportunities that exist in South Australia in the oil and gas sector. We are happy to provide briefings to any particular investors. Whether or not they find their way into the investor stream for ACP is not something that we necessarily would be aware of. At every one of the industry briefings that we go to, whether in this country or in other countries, we are always seeking to promote our natural resources and the other opportunities that exist. I am sure that at one of those briefings there may well have been somebody who may have shown some interest in the ACP proposal, but I am not presently familiar with whether any of those people, if they do exist, have then gone on to form a relationship with ACP.
