The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (15:00): The former government, prior to the last election, after they made this significant announcement without consultation, just before a state election, refused to release any of the criteria or any of the weightings around this deal, which is a very important deal on a 5.8-hectare site right next to the CBD which requires significant remediation.

The SPEAKER: The member for Frome!

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: —this agreement is consistent with the original approval for the Bowden Urban Village. So it's a whole range of things; we can get into a whole speculative game, if you want to. We can really do that, if you want to—if you want to—but what I would do if I was you—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: —would be to just wait for the government to implement its election policy and wait for the outcome of the review.
