Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): My question is to the Treasurer. Now that the Treasurer has had 24 hours to reflect, can he inform the house whether he has ever read a report into the Gillman sale which made a finding of maladministration against him?

The SPEAKER: What the deputy leader is doing would be unlawful, a criminal offence, outside the chamber. Inside the chamber it is covered by parliamentary privilege, and I have so ruled. Deputy Premier.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:37): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I think I answered precisely this—

Ms Chapman: No, you didn't; you said there was another report.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: —question yesterday. There is a report. The report is published. It is on the public record. It speaks for itself.

Ms CHAPMAN: Point of clarification, sir. A question was asked similar to that question, but I do not recall you making any ruling on it at all. Indeed, the Attorney—

The SPEAKER: No, I wasn't quick enough.

Ms CHAPMAN: I see. Alright. Perhaps I will just invite the Speaker to view the Hansard, because certainly the Attorney took no objection. Indeed, he went on to answer it.

The Hon. J.R. Rau interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Indeed. Member for Morphett.
