LOTTERIES COMMISSION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:03): A supplementary question arising out of the minister's attempted answers—

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: 9½ minutes of nothing.

The PRESIDENT: Order! If the honourable member got nothing out of that, perhaps he was not listening. Mr Lucas has a supplementary.

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: 9½ minutes.

The Hon. G.E. Gago: Well, he asked five questions, for God's sake. What do you expect?

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: You didn't answer any of them.

The PRESIDENT: You are wasting a lot of our time today. The Hon. Mr Lucas.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: When was the minister first advised by Treasury or the Treasurer that the government was contemplating the sale or privatisation of the Lotteries Commission, which was eventually announced in the May budget this year?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:04): We have not discussed privatisation. What we have discussed is sublease arrangements, so the answer is no, we have not discussed privatisation. I think what the honourable member means, what he is trying to ask me, is about sublease arrangements, and they were in discussions in the lead-up to the budget preparation in relation to cabinet's considerations and discussions.
