ASPEN GROUP

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:03): I have a supplementary question. The straightforward question is: did the minister receive any legal or planning advice? I did not ask about specifics; I said any legal advice or planning advice warning the minister in relation to this issue.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:03): I obviously sought planning advice on what the options were relating to this matter. I took the cabinet submission, as has been publicly indicated, relating to the proposal to change the schedule of the Development Act to include taking this off. I did not need to seek legal advice relating to that matter.
