Sporting and Infrastructure Grants

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is to the Premier. Premier, which minister took the submissions to cabinet to approve $133 million of sporting club and infrastructure grants, and can the Premier confirm that all requirements under relevant legislation were complied with? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: Relevant acts include the Public Sector Act, the Public Finance and Audit Act and the Public Sector (Honesty and Accountability) Act.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:25): Who signed in the cabinet submission of course goes to the cabinet documents and is subject to cabinet confidentiality; however, as the Premier of the state and the chair of cabinet, needless to say I accept responsibility along with the cabinet for all the decisions that are made. Of course, those decisions need to be made in accordance with the law and no-one anywhere, to the best of my knowledge, has suggested that there is any reason to believe that anything to the contrary has occurred.

The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Mawson knows better.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Morialta! Member for Florey!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Chaffey and the member for Florey are warned.
