Keolis Downer

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Was Mr Sasha Grebe at a meeting in the minister's office on 11 May 2019 discussing an unsolicited bid proposal by Keolis Downer with the South Australian government?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:50): I wasn't at that meeting. I must admit that I don't know who was at that meeting.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I know that members of my staff were at that meeting.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I do understand about unsolicited bid processes that go wrong, and I think that the Gillman saga provides a pretty decent example of where, if you don't follow the rules, if you try to heavy a few Renewal SA board members, sometimes things don't work out that well, and I learned from that example. I learn from those examples to make sure that, when it comes to the expending of taxpayers' dollars, dollars that aren't mine and aren't anyone's in these houses but the taxpayers of South Australia, we do so with the utmost integrity and independence.
