I refer the Premier to his answer to question without notice No. 1114, part (4), and ask -
(1) Does the Premier’s answer mean that the Premier did not consider the economic and social benefits of the Coral Coast Resort proposal?
(2) If so, and notwithstanding the Premier’s role as acting Environmental Minister for purpose of the environmental assessment, why did the Premier, in his role as the Premier, consider the broader economic and social benefits of the proposal?
(3) If the economic and social benefits were considered by the Premier, will the Premier table any relevant documents?
(4) If not, why not?
