I refer the Premier to his answer to question without notice 1298 dated 19 September in which the Premier said he had legal advice confirming the validity of the delegation made by the Minister for the Environment to the Premier on matters relating to the Coral Coast Marina Development Pty Ltd proposal. (1) Since the Crown Solicitor’s advice released by the Premier is dated 22 September and was in response to discussions which occurred on 19 September, will the Premier indicate what prior advice he was relying on for his answer on 19 September? (2) What was the date of that prior advice? (3) Will the Premier release that advice? Hon KIM CHANCE
