GlobeLink

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (16:51): I do have a supplementary, Mr President, arising from the original answer from the minister. Minister, if the policy that you took to the election was simply to have a business case for GlobeLink, how then did you get away with making claims that the policy will 'create jobs, increase South Australia's export capacity, get freight off metro Adelaide roads, improve road safety and grow our regions'? In quoting that, I refer to a post by David Ridgway dated 1 March 2017—

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, it's a supplementary question.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: It is, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Where is the question?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I am just giving the honourable minister some detail about his previous comments.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, ask your supplementary or sit down.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: The supplementary is how can you claim that it was merely a policy about a business case being produced when you also made claims that this would create jobs: definitely create jobs, green tick; increase South Australia's export capacity, green tick; get freight off metro Adelaide roads, green tick—

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD: Point of order, Mr President.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: —improve road safety, green tick; grow our regions, green tick?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter!

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: You made all those claims and now you are saying—

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter!

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: How do you justify them? How do you justify it?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, sit down. There is a point of order. I would like to hear the point of order. The Hon. Mr Hood.

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD: Sir, a supplementary question doesn't require explanation.

The PRESIDENT: Your point is well made, the Hon. Mr Hood.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Mr President, I recant. I will just ask the question.

The PRESIDENT: Well, that would be lovely.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: How do you justify, minister, making claims that a policy to have a business case would create all of these economic benefits for the state? They haven't and they won't. How do you justify that?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: It's day one, so we will give them some latitude.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (16:53): If the honourable member had read the Liberal Party policy prior to the last election, the policy was about a business case.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, have you got a supplementary question or are you just standing up?
