CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:12): Thank you. My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier been advised of a closing date for Carnegie Mellon University?

The SPEAKER: The Premier—I think you have answered this.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:12): No. This is what I have been advised: Carnegie Mellon stated that it is 'committed to the long-term development of our operations in South Australia'. If you had listened to the last question—

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The Hon. M.D. RANN: You don't listen; you just listen to yourself talking. The release also stated:

There are no plans to close the operations in Adelaide and no truth that a closing in 12 months is imminent.

This is a bloke who has believed what he is told. This is a bloke who sees a forged document and thinks it is real.
