Riverbank Precinct

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): Supplementary: aside from the car park, was there an indication prior to the election of support for any further development in that area?

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) (14:36): The situation prior to the election was that—again, going back some years—there was a master planning exercise for the Riverbank precinct. That master planning exercise resulted in, amongst other things, a rezoning of areas adjacent to this building and generally in the precinct. That is as far as the planning regime could go, and it has gone, but that occurred some time ago. In respect of Mr Walker, if that's what the honourable member is asking about, there is no agreement with Mr Walker to do anything—

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I beg your pardon?

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Which one of you two is doing the questioning?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Okay: please, go ahead.

The SPEAKER: Further supplementary.
