Electricity Generation

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:42): My question is again to the Minister for Energy. Why did the minister advise the house yesterday that the government decided to locate the new diesel generators at Lonsdale and Elizabeth on 31 July when, on behalf of the government, South Australia Power Networks advised ESCOSA on 11 July that that would be happening?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:42): I don't believe I did advise the house. I think it was in response to a question about an answer from an estimates question by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet.
