Commonwealth Bank of Australia
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:33): I have a further supplementary. I take from that answer it was the main branch in Sydney, which would have been a sufficient answer. Did the department provide official briefing papers for his meeting with the Commonwealth Bank?
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:33): I thank the honourable member for her question; it is a bit like E360 yesterday. It was an opportunity to go and have a meeting and discussion about how the Commonwealth Bank may help grow the South Australian economy and the things they might like to do to help us here because, of course, they were aware that we had had 16 years of a dreadful Labor government and that our economy and spirits were at rock bottom. It was really one of those opportunities to sit down and have an informal chat about how they might be able to help the South Australian economy. No, there were no formal briefings provided.
