Motor Accident Commission

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Final supplementary on this matter: given the reliance of the government on the PwC report, will the Treasurer table it and make it available for members to view?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:31): No, I will not. The reason I will not is that we are in the middle of a competitive process and a commercial process, and the idea of the Leader of the Opposition doing everything he can to undermine the competitive process for compulsory third-party premiums in the middle of a commercial process will do harm to motorists, and I will not allow that to happen.

Mr GARDNER: Point of order, sir. I think the Treasurer just imputed improper motive on another member.

The SPEAKER: What was the improper motive?

Mr GARDNER: Seeking to undermine a commercial process.

The SPEAKER: There has to be some room for argy-bargy in question time. Treasurer, you have finished? Okay. Deputy leader.
