MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:30):</by>  No, and nor would we do something as reckless as that. The state government—any government—is in a privileged position to be in receipt of information from time to time. I am happy to say that while the state government is furnished with some information from GFG, none of it has been as detailed as we saw reported in <term>The 'Tiser</term>. Should we be furnished with information along those lines, it would not be good practice for us to disclose it. So, absolutely not.</text>
        <text id="202502185601760b9e7f449480000336">The people who I care most about in this circumstance aren't actually GFG. Obviously, the report from <term>The Advertiser</term> was a revealing one—and, in many respects, that's a credit to the journos and <term>The 'Tiser</term>; that's them doing their job—but the people who pay a price from that leak are some individual creditors who, for whatever reason, may not want in the public realm the status of their position with GFG. In fact, we have had some representations from some creditors to that end. For some of them, it's a source of not just discomfort or embarrassment, it has other consequences. That's on whoever decided to disclose that information, but I can absolutely confirm it was not the South Australian government.</text>
