Generators

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): Supplementary: if the Treasurer in May this year announced the plan to lease and then have an option to purchase, what has changed since May this year until now to make the decision to buy it now, and on whose advice, if anybody's, other than yours in the cabinet?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:48): Nothing has changed. We always said we were going to purchase these generators. We always said we were going to have a state-owned generator. The question is: why are members opposite so angry about it?
