Adelaide Oval Hotel Development

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. What assurances can the minister provide the house that there is no conflict of interest or personal benefit for the minister in offering the SMA a $42 million loan? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Asset documents show the minister is the current secretary, director and shareholder of Sausage Boys Pty Ltd, with whom it or its associated entities receive a commercial benefit from retail activity at the Adelaide Oval. He is the responsible minister to the house for the Adelaide Oval, and there is no blind trust registered on any document the minister has declared.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:46): There are about half a dozen things in that statement that are false, but that's fine.

Mr Picton: Have you got a conflict of interest or not?

The SPEAKER: The member for Kaurna is warned for a second and final time.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I took steps—this is as I said last Thursday—to dissolve myself of conflicts of interest. I did that within a few days of coming to office. I have done exactly what I have needed to to make sure that I can serve the people of South Australia faithfully. There is a strong framework in place and I abide by it.
