          <by role="member" id="4843">The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (16:09):</by>  Not to my knowledge, but I need to stress to the member for West Torrens again—and I am happy to take that on notice—that the contract isn't signed. The negotiations are continuing. We have spent almost all of question time discussing the matter, and I can't be any clearer. He is asking about a contract that hasn't been signed.</text>
        <text id="20200910d4e553010e28405f80000702">The contract has not been signed. You may have rushed out with details about contracts and whatever else when you were in government when you were outsourcing all those things I listed before: the Motor Accident Commission, the lotteries, the forests and the like—the lands titles office. You may have rushed to give all the details when you signed the bus contracts and outsourced prisons. That may have been your modus operandi, but again I stress the point that no contract has been signed and the negotiations are continuing on.</text>
