House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time North-South Corridor Tunnel North-South Corridor Tunnel The Hon. V.A. TARZIA House of Assembly Hartley North-South Corridor Tunnel The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Did the minister meet with the Spanish company Acciona in February of this year and, if so, why? Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The minister has the call. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Energy and Mining The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:56): Yes, I did meet with Acciona, and I have met with WeBuild and I have met with a number of companies, and I have met with them on the basis that I wanted to make sure that I could see works that they were doing in other jurisdictions because they were potential bidders for the north-south corridor. I sought probity advice before I met with anyone who may be a potential bidder. I sought advice about what I could, should or shouldn't say. I followed that advice at all times. I had meetings with my chief executive, as I should, and I met with people who have built tunnels. I also point out I will continue to meet with people who build tunnels. Why? We haven't built tunnels in South Australia before and I want to make sure we get this right. I don't want to see another one-way expressway. I want to make sure we get this right. So yes, I did—I met with Acciona and I met with WeBuild—and I will continue to meet with people who are involved in this, but I do so on the basis of probity advice always.
