          <by role="member" id="4342">Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:33):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy. What are the details of the commercial arrangements the minister entered into with ENGIE to have the Pelican Point power station returned to operation, and can the minister advise the house whether Alinta Energy requested financial support from the government to help keep the Port Augusta power station operating?</text>

KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:34):</by>  There were two questions there; I will answer the last one first. I don't publicly debate or disclose confidential negotiations or discussions companies have with me because they come to me on the basis of it remaining confidential and I honour that. In terms of there being a commercial arrangement in place for Pelican Point, there was none.</text>
