Infrastructure Projects

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (15:39): My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer stand by the answer provided by the Premier in the house on 15 November? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: When asked whether the hydrogen power plant and the north-south corridor project changes and the new Women's and Children's Hospital changes which are being considered are being monitored by Infrastructure SA, the Premier responded, and I quote:

Infrastructure SA has a range of responsibilities, including providing assurance reports, and is monitoring each of those projects, to the best of my advice.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (15:39): I thank the member for Colton for his question. As members would be aware, Infrastructure South Australia is an organisation that is administratively and functionally responsible to the Premier. I have no information or advice which leads me to believe that any advice that the Premier provided in his previous answer, which was referred to by the member for Colton, needs to be corrected or cannot stand on its own.

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton and then the member for King, who has been waiting patiently.
