CROWN HOTEL, BURSWOOD — LAND SALE
113. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Again I ask: who provided the Premier with the advice that
Crown Perth had an entitlement; will the Premier provide that advice; and will
he table the valuation he just referred to in his answer?

AnswerView source ↗
I made very clear what the valuation
was—$95 million.
Ms
R. Saffioti : Table the valuation.
The
SPEAKER : Members!
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : Mr Speaker, I am not going to table commercial information on
that site. Indeed, there are other developments around that area.
With respect to advice, obviously
the State Solicitor provided advice—government agencies provided
advice. I do not know why members opposite criticise every positive project in
this state. Mr Speaker, remember all the assertions last year before the
election that there was some secret deal between me and James Packer. Members
opposite went down that path. The opposition put out press releases and
comments about meetings that were not about what it thought they were about; it
just continues to try to stop development!

Mr C.J. BARNETT :
No, we will not be tabling commercial advice to the government.
