BUCKLAND PARK

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:04): I have a supplementary question. How can the public have confidence in a fair decision being made on this major development when the Treasurer has bragged publicly about the access given to the developer by the Rann government?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:04): The Treasurer obviously has a job to do in relation to attracting investment to the state. If Mr Walker chooses to invest in this state, as he has done in other states, I believe that is a good thing for this state. However, the Buckland Park proposal, like all others, will be assessed on its merits.
