The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): Supplementary: will that review be made publicly available?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:43): Given that the review is also—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my left, there will be several of you departing if we don't hear some silence. I think there have been some good questions today, some good answers today, and the fact that we have been able to hear both sides I think is a good thing. I'm sure people in the gallery agree. Let's just keep the noise level down. The interjections are not parliamentary.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I will explain this again, slowly, for my friends opposite. This review is being conducted with South Australia Police. South Australia Police will cooperate with the department and the department will cooperate with them. Once the report is completed, I will take a report to cabinet and we will make a decision then.

It's fair to say that thus far we have found no evidence of the accusations members opposite are making. If they have evidence of organised crime involved in any government contract, I would ask members to stand up in the parliament, under parliamentary privilege, give any documents that they have to the government—make them public if you like—and put up or shut up.
