ST CLAIR LAND SWAP

The Hon. DAVID WINDERLICH (14:42): What steps will the minister be taking to address concerns about conflicts of interest in the Charles Sturt council itself in relation to this decision?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:43): Again, I have already put on the record that I have received no evidence of a conflict of interest relating to this matter. If there are any allegations that have evidence, then there are opportunities and due process available to members of the public to put those matters forward and have them investigated. As usual, the Hon. Mr Winderlich puts forward snide innuendo. If he has some facts that he believes constitute evidence of a conflict of interest, then let him put them forward. As I put on the record before, to the best of my knowledge, I have not received any evidence that suggests there is impropriety relating to the matters involving St Clair.
