Brompton Gasworks

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:53): My question is to the Premier. Does his government reject the assessment of Renewal SA that MAB's proposal will deliver superior overall outcomes for the local community and the people of South Australia across the evaluation criteria?

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (14:53): Don't you like me answering questions? You can't look at me. You're focused—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Hammond! The member for Hammond is warned.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: I am not protecting anyone. I am implementing our mandate and it's about time you recognised it. As important as Renewal's board is, as important as is the previous decision the minister made, we are going to properly review this decision because it's a 5.8 hectare site. It's very heavily polluted. It was part of the original Bowden Urban Village document that was signed off by the Public Works Committee of this parliament.

I should congratulate you as well on being elected. I look forward to your maiden speech as well, but you should go back and look at the testimony before the Public Works Committee, as I have done, about this project. The gasworks was never carved off by itself. It was always part of the Bowden Urban Village project. So it is important for us to measure this deal that was announced just before a state election. We are going to measure it against the criteria I outlined to the house before. That's a sensible and prudent thing to do, and it's also something we have a mandate for.
