Festival Plaza Redevelopment

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for the Arts. Did the minister read the development agreement with the Walker Corporation regarding the plaza development before he signed it and, if so, can he inform the house of what variations there were in the key commercial terms to those announced by the Premier on 13 March 2015?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:50): This is nearly identical to the question that the deputy leader asked yesterday when she was seeking some information about the agreements which the government has entered into—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned. The deputy leader is still on two warnings.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine: That's the third time you've told her, sir.

The SPEAKER: The member for Wright appears to be committing contempt in the face of the parliament, for which I call her to order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: As I was saying, yesterday the deputy leader asked nearly an identical question. She has made it clear that she would like a briefing on the development agreement. She has also made it clear—

An honourable member: Who's 'she'?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: The deputy leader; were you not listening?

The SPEAKER: We are allowed to use pronouns in the parliament.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Thank you, Mr Speaker, 'you' do a good job.

An honourable member: What is that?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: I was just trying to work in a pronoun.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: I am no 'pronouner', alright? As I said yesterday, the deputy leader has sought a briefing on this. She has also made it clear she would like a briefing before we debate the ASER bill, which has been introduced into the parliament. We have acceded to both of those requests, and she will have all the information that she seeks.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: I heard the question.

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader will depart under the standing orders for the next 15 minutes for repeatedly defying the Chair's authority.

The honourable member for Bragg having withdrawn from the chamber:

The SPEAKER: The member for Mount Gambier.
