Personal Explanation

Electricity Generation

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (10:31): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: During yesterday's question time, I was asked a question by the shadow minister from the opposition about who the government is leasing the generators from. The government has a contract with SAPN to provide that service with APR Energy. The government's option to purchase the generators is directly with APR Energy. That is a response to a question from the shadow minister, Mr van Holst Pellekaan.

The SPEAKER: Always a bad idea to use a member's name rather than the office.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I apologise, sir.

An honourable member: Stuart is a lot easier.

The SPEAKER: Yes, Stuart would save Hansard keystrokes.
