Planning and Development Process

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My supplementary is to the Minister for Planning: what action has he taken to follow up on Mr Hook's concerns raised in Saturday's Advertiser?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:48): I have analysed my own thinking processes; I have asked myself, 'Have I gone around building things before I have even planned them?' and I am happy to report that no, I haven't. I have asked the question, 'Has Mr Hook ever got it back to front?' The answer may be different. I have also thought about, 'Is there a fail-safe mechanism in place?' Yes, there is: the honourable Minister for Infrastructure, there he is, the fail-safe mechanism. That's there. As I said, the suggestion that there is an unreasonable, unfair, suspicious or in any way inappropriate relationship between me and any developers is absolute nonsense.
