Courts Administration Authority

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:55): Supplementary question to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services: as part of that engineering and scoping work that was mentioned, will that include the cost for potential removal and relocation? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: Recently on the ABC radio the Chief Justice, Chris Kourakis,—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr TELFER: —needed assurance and made the point that it needed to be considered that it is an expense to move when the Courts Administration Authority needs to expand the Supreme Court area.

The SPEAKER: There may be an element of speculation in the question but, in any event, the minister was on his feet and I will turn to the minister.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:55): As neither the responsible minister for that project or future works at the Courts Administration Authority I would direct the member to ask the relevant minister that question.
