Adelaide Central Market Redevelopment

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Environment and Water. Will the Deputy Premier seek information from the EPA in relation to what actions they are taking to ensure that asbestos has been dispersed from the site prior to it being available for further work?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:30): I am sure that the Deputy Leader meant to say 'disposed of' rather than 'dispersed', which might be slightly counterproductive. Yes, naturally, it is essential that a product as serious as that is treated appropriately, and I will get a full briefing on what has been proposed by the people who have discovered it and the people who are disposing of it.
