Riverbank Precinct

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): Supplementary, sir: did the Auditor-General have full access to the government's legal opinion from private counsel referred to at page 52 of his report into the Riverbank redevelopment?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:20): I thank the leader for his further question. I can't answer that conclusively because I wasn't involved in the production or the transmission of the information on which the Auditor-General based his inquiry. What I have been advised is that not only was very, very substantial documentation and analysis provided to the Auditor-General but some of that also included some of the information which he refers to by necessity somewhat obscurely in the report as being the analysis and advice the government relied upon in order to make decisions.
