Brompton Gasworks

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:46): A question for the Minister for Housing and Urban Development for clarity because this is very important to the people of South Australia: is the review considering—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member has the call.

Mr TELFER: Is the review considering rescinding the unanimous recommendation of Renewal SA's board to select MAB Corporation as the preferred proponent?

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (14:46): What the review is doing is looking at this decision by the former minister.

Mr Cowdrey: By the board.

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Colton!

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: Well, the former minister announced it. He issued the press release. Regardless, we are going to review this decision. We are going to review it. The government is going to review it—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton is called to order. The member for Unley!

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: —get the independent review and consider it. It is not difficult. We said this before the election; we are implementing it afterwards. On Tuesday, you marched into this place—it was a much better strategy than your previous one, I might add—and you asked the Premier, 'Are you going to commit to your election commitments?' Then you went down the line—

Mr TARZIA: Point of order, sir.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: —to West Torrens, to Lee, to the member for Kaurna—

The SPEAKER: Minister, there is a point of order. Please be seated.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: Oh, you don't like it?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr TARZIA: Point of order: the question was very specific. This is clearly debate: 98.

The SPEAKER: There is some force in what the acting leader says. Minister, I will listen carefully. I draw you to the substance.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: You demand that we commit to implementing our election commitments. Nothing could be plainer than what we said before the election: review, release the weightings and the criteria. How hard is it? It's not hard to understand. Now the government is implementing it and you are coming in here saying, 'What are you doing?' Well, it's pretty obvious what we are doing: we are implementing our election policy. If you are going to demand that we implement our election policy, then you have to respect our mandate and the decision of the people of South Australia.
