BURNSIDE COUNCIL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): Will the Attorney-General then confirm that he did not receive any specific advice about closing down the Burnside council inquiry, given that when I asked him about the matter yesterday he said that the advice he had received had all been referring to last year?

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) (14:38): I am not quite sure I understand the question. The decision in relation to the shutting down, as you would call it, or closing down, of the Burnside council was a decision that was made, I believe, and announced by the Minister for State/Local Government Relations. I think he has already explained what steps he took in relation to that matter.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
