Gillman Land sale

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): My question is to the Minister for Housing and Urban Development. During the last sitting week the Deputy Premier gave an undertaking to the house that he would find out whether the member for Lee had met with representatives of Adelaide Capital Partners while working as the deputy chief of staff to the Premier. Can the Deputy Premier now confirm whether the member for Lee met with representatives of Adelaide Capital Partners?

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) (15:09): I can't confirm that, and on reflection it seems to me that in my capacity as minister I cannot possibly be accountable to the house for the actions of people who at the relevant time were not even members of the parliament and, so, I have come to the opinion I am not able to assist the honourable member in relation to that matter.
