The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Premier Attorney-General Minister for Planning and Local Government Real-Time Fuel Pricing The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:13): Firstly, it's Mr Soulio who has had responsibility for the implementation of this program. I have explained it to the parliament before, in the long passage of the development of this legislation through the parliament. I have been very grateful for the member for Florey's contribution. That contribution was very long, so it did somewhat extend it, but that is the parliamentary process. I am very pleased to have had that contribution, but it did extend it. Unfortunately, the member for Florey's contribution included criticism of the appropriateness of the appointment of Informed Sources as the agent to actually do this reporting. Her criticism, as I have explained to the parliament, resulted in the commissioner taking the view that, in view of the allegations made in respect of the ACCC, it was appropriate that there be a full tender process, which of course took the matter out another six months. That delay is unfortunate, but I am very pleased to confirm that, for the people of South Australia, this is in place, it is operational and it is effective.
