The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): Supplementary to the Premier: has the government been provided with any advice or warnings or does the government have any concerns that since John Setka's takeover of the CFMEU, there are indeed—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: —plans for the John Setka-led takeover of the CFMEU to lead to blowouts of costs or delays—

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens on a point of order.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is called to order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Standing order 97: that question involved a fair bit of argument and opinion and I ask the member to rephrase given his hefty salary as deputy leader.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I will give the member for Morialta the opportunity to recast the question.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Has the Premier or the government received any advice or concerns in relation to blowouts in costs or delivery timetables in the Tarrkarri project over the last two months?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:49): I am happy to take that question on notice. However, what I can inform the house—given the characterisation that the deputy leader put in his original version of the question—is that the government is in receipt of no advice that suggests in any way, shape or form that industrial relations implications have had any impact on this project. In fact, I am not aware of us being in receipt of any advice regarding industrial relations implications of the nature referred to by the deputy leader having an impact in any project.
