Gillman Land Sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:51): I'll address again a question to the Minister for Transport as the minister assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development. Minister, were you involved in the evaluation of the Adelaide Capital Partners Gillman proposal?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:52): Again, I will seek to obtain information about these matters and get back—

The SPEAKER: The member for Finniss is called to order and the leader is warned for the first time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Let's be very clear about this. What the honourable member is asking of the member of this house is a question regarding a matter which appears to be of interest to those members opposite because they, I assume, have not listened carefully to what the Premier has been telling them all day. Their questions are now directed towards a member of this house in respect of a period during which he was neither a member of this house nor the responsible minister, but the question is framed in terms of the particular ministry that he currently holds. I will attempt to answer the question and, in order to do so, I will have to seek information.

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Was that the member for Chaffey again—sighing? He is warned for the second time.

Mr WILLIAMS: Mr Speaker, is it your ruling that sighing is unparliamentary?

The SPEAKER: Yes, if it's audible. The deputy leader.
