GREATER MOUNT GAMBIER MASTER PLAN

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:51): I have a further supplementary question. Now that the minister has indicated that he took this to cabinet, even though he is the planning minister, did he have any other discussions with the member for Mount Gambier in relation to the controversial decision that he has taken in Mount Gambier, which has pitted developers against developers and now city council against district council, at least in relation to this aspect?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:51): It is a good try from the honourable member to get me to indicate what was discussed in cabinet. He knows that those matters are confidential. I am just indicating by my answer, if the honourable member does not understand, that Mr McEwen was well aware of the decision, because cabinet was informed of that decision, which is the usual practice with such things.
