Gillman Land Sale

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Can the Premier outline to the house what evidence he relied upon to determine that the other proposals, the proposals that the Land Management Corporation referred to, would not create the same number of jobs that the ACP proposal purported to create for South Australia?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:32): This has all been laid out at length. Every element of the decision-making process that we took as a cabinet has been laid bare in three separate processes, and there has been nothing to suggest that our motivations weren't exactly as we said, that is, the creation of employment lands. I do hope that they are successful in achieving this. We have doubts now, given the controversy around this process. We do hope that they are successful—

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —but their ambitions—

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Their ambitions for this site are extensive and are about creating the estimated 6,000 jobs. It would be a wonderful thing if that could be created in a logistics hub—

Mr Pederick: How is your 100,000 going?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —so close to the city.

The SPEAKER: The member for Hammond is warned.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: They are certainly the things that we hope become a reality.
