GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:41):</by>  Supplementary: I thank the minister for taking the question on notice. In seeking that information, can I ask him: given the commission is independent, as he has said, but they make a review to the minister and the minister has the final decision, does the government have a policy as to the weighting that it will give to local community consultation, which forms part of that review?</text>

What we will do, as I said, is once all those reports come in to myself I will analyse the whole lot and take some advice on that, but again I am happy to take that on board and get back to you with that for information.</text>
