Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): A further supplementary: while minister for housing and urban development, did the Treasurer discuss Renewal SA's staffing arrangement with property developers, including Mr Lang Walker?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:27): I would never let a property developer tell the government who or what personnel should be overseeing them. That's a matter for the chief executive in any department. I have complete faith in the public servants who work for the government, and I respect Mr McLachlan a great deal. I point out to the opposition that you were quoting from a submission as to what Mr McLachlan put in that was very complimentary of me.
