BURNSIDE COUNCIL

Mr GOLDSWORTHY (Kavel) (14:55): My question is again to the Attorney-General. Given that the estimated cost of the Burnside council inquiry was initially set at $250,000, who approved the additional funding of $1.25 million for work that the government is now throwing away?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order, Madam Speaker: the suggestion that the government is now throwing it away is argument and he is not allowed to do that. I know he is—well, he seems new.

The SPEAKER: Yes. I would ask the member to withdraw the last part of his question. It is sufficient to say 'who approved the additional $1.25 million'.

Mr GOLDSWORTHY: I can change the last part of the sentence, if you like, to 'is now abandoning'.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Urban Development, Planning and the City of Adelaide, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Food Marketing) (14:56): I thank the honourable member for his question. The period that he is speaking of actually pre-dates my tenure in the job.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Attorney-General will answer the question, not the opposition.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: So I don't know the answer to that question; however, I can find out.
