ADELAIDE CITY COUNCIL

The Hon. SANDRA KANCK (14:53): I have a supplementary question arising from the first answer given by the minister. Have any donations been made to the ALP entity SA Progressive Business?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:53): I have no idea. As I said, if people give donations it is a matter, first, for the Labor Party. But, if they are given to entities such as that, my understanding is they have to be disclosed to the Electoral Commission. I am aware that a federal Liberal government, of course, changed the laws two or three years ago.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Well, they used to be under the previous government.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: The Hon. Rob Lucas knows more than I do because, of course, he was a member of a Liberal government which, when it was in power, deliberately watered down regulations. What was it? The Greenfields Foundation or something? I know the Liberal Party has invented a number of measures to avoid the disclosure of donations when it was in government—it pioneered that—but, if the honourable member wants to ask those things, he needs to take them up with the Electoral Commission. Any decision that I make in relation to any planning matter is based on its merits.
