Has the Deputy Premier passed on all responsibility for managing the metropolitan coastline to the Attorney-General or just the decision to halt and then extinguish the contract for the sand recycling pipeline?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (15:12): As the chamber would understand, it's important that I am clear in not exercising any decision-making that might affect the pecuniary interest I have in owning a house, not on the esplanade, back from the beach, that nonetheless the Crown solicitors have determined would potentially be affected in its value by the activities that the previous minister was undertaking.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: Therefore, any issues that relate to the arrangements of the interaction of the beach in front of where my house is I will not be taking any involvement for.
