Whyalla Steelworks

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): My questions are to the Leader of the Government in this place regarding Whyalla:

1. Has the government received any advice on possible buyers for the Whyalla Steelworks and, if so, who are the best options at this stage?

2. What involvement will the government have in the purchase agreement of the steelworks?

3. What plans does the government have for the Whyalla Steelworks if a purchaser cannot be found?

The Hon. R.P. Wortley interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wortley, are you going to take the question?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for her question. It is a little bit early to be looking to possible buyers. Administration has only just started. Yesterday was the very first creditors' meeting in Whyalla. Certainly the action that the state government has taken, the support package that has been announced by the federal government, seeks to give the steelworks and the people of Whyalla the best possible chance going into the future.
