MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (15:00):</by>  GFG has been furnishing the Steel Task Force with information from time to time. We would like to see more of that information. There have been periods—and I have said this in a number of forums, including I think in this one last year, that we have at various points in time been the beneficiary as a government of transparency from GFG, which is commendable, but more recently we would like to see a greater degree of transparency and clarity over the size of the debts that GFG has.</text>

        <text id="202502059d97bab30c6f4c86a0000568">Bear in mind, of course, that GFG is ultimately a private enterprise. It is not a publicly listed company. Their obligations and their duties only stretch so far in a technical sense. Notwithstanding that, we think it would be prudent to receive as much information as we can from GFG. We are turning our minds to how that might be realised. Certainly, we are aware that the moneys owed by GFG, outside of the moneys owed to the South Australian government, are in the order of tens of millions of dollars.</text>
