Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary to the minister: during or after the meeting on 27 November 2013 with former senator Nick Bolkus, then the lobbyist for the Walker Corporation, did he discuss his decision to change the government's lead negotiator with Walker Corporation?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:29): I am not personally aware of that particular meeting. I would have to see if there is any advice that could be provided to me about that. Again, I think that the criticism levelled by the Auditor-General about the particular discussions between the former head of the infrastructure agency and Walker Corporation is the lack of record keeping about the particular conduct of those meetings. I think that it is up to that subsequent exchange of correspondence between the two chief executives of Premier and Cabinet and the infrastructure agency to shed further light on it.
