HOLDEN COINVESTMENT

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): If you are saying that the previous agreement was binding—

The SPEAKER: No, I am not saying it, the Premier is.

Mr MARSHALL: Sorry, sir. The Premier has indicated to the house on numerous occasions that the previous agreement struck in March 2012 was binding, and he has told the house now that it had minimum jobs requirements in it; why isn't he pursuing this? Why have we lost hundreds and hundreds of jobs since this deal was supposedly struck?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:27): This is precisely the conversation we had at the time: they don't get their money.
