Conveyancers

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Consumer and Business Services. What steps are the government taking to ensure the integrity of communications from conveyancers, in light of the recent scam that resulted in South Australian property buyers being defrauded out of nearly $1 million?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:56): I thank the member for that question. That is a good question and I will seek information about it, although I'm not sure—

Mr Marshall: Your office is going to be busy after question time today.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: They always are. They always are after question time. I'm not sure whether the particular matter that the member for Davenport raises is properly a matter for Business and Consumer Services or whether it fits elsewhere. It doesn't matter. Even if it does fit elsewhere, because that was such a well-intentioned question and asked so courteously, I will try to get an answer, even if I have to speak to others to get it.
