House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Steel Industry Steel Industry Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly Stuart Steel Industry Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:37): A supplementary, sir: given the Treasurer's answer, will the government commit to using Australian-standard steel in the forthcoming upgrade to the O-Bahn? The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Finance Minister for State Development Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Steel Industry The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (15:37): What we have announced is a new policy that is prospective, not retrospective. I will take the question with a bit more sympathy if the opposition were not planning, if elected, to cancel a whole range of infrastructure projects like the Torrens to Torrens which is using a lot of Australian steel. So I find the question quite frankly to be not quite authentic because the truth is this: we are investing in public transport and the opposition do not like it. They do not like us investing in public transport and, quite frankly, I am proud of our investments in public transport. We will be doing all we can to make sure that the $10 billion spend that we have uses the policy that we have in place for the procurement of Australian steel.
