Electricity Generation

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:01): Supplementary: given the minister's answer, is he suggesting that the Attorney-General provided information to the Government Gazette in advance of the contracts being signed?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (15:01): I am sure that the Attorney-General always acts in the interests of the people of South Australia but, in the end, the remarks that the opposition are attributing to the Premier were not made by the Premier: they were made by an agency. We didn't sign the final contract until the night before the announcement of the generators.
