SOUTH AUSTRALIAN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:28): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister advise the house whether the due diligence and other documentation that she has outlined will be provided transparently to this parliament?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:28): The government always attempts to be as transparent and open as possible. I am not sure whether there are materials that might have commercially confidential implications but obviously we cannot make those available. However, the government as a principle seeks wherever it possibly can to be as transparent and open as possible in all its dealings.
