Kangaroo Island Wharf Facility

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:28): My question is to the Premier. Has the Deputy Premier declared that her property at Gum Valley is an Airbnb to the cabinet declarations, the Cabinet Office?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:28): Can I just clarify—well, I am going to make this absolutely clear. I am not operating a B&B. I made that very clear to the committee. The evidence is clear. It's in there.

I have provided information to the committee as to some rental of the farmhouse and also the occupation of the shearers' quarters, largely after the fires, for no consideration because, of course, people were desperate. They had no homes. This is what has happened over there. Now there are workmen who have been in that property, so there is intermittent provision of short-term rental for workers who live in the area.

I categorically deny that I am operating an Airbnb. That has been put to me in the committee. I have made it very clear what my position is in that regard, and the documents and the evidence of the loss I make holding that property are before the committee.
