Gillman Land Sale

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09): Given the fact that this deal is almost two years down the track and there has not been settlement, at what point will the government issue proceedings for arbitration over the matter of the Gillman land?

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, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:09): We would be in a position to consider those matters when or if we came to the conclusion that there had been a lack of performance. But I have to say that that is, as in many matters of this type, a matter of fact and degree, and I don't think it would be appropriate or beneficial from anyone's point of view for me to speculate in any detail about what a triggering event might be, but I would of course be guided by my legal advice.
