❓ Hon. Norman Moore questions the Premier regarding legal advice concerning the Coral Coast Marina Development, specifically querying the basis for a statement made before the Crown Solicitor's advice was finalized. The response from Hon. Kim Chance is a delaying tactic, suggesting the question be posed by the Leader of the Opposition instead.

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

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I advise that providing the information in the time required is not possible. However, I believe that if the honourable member were to ask the question tomorrow - Hon Norman Moore: This is the third time I have done that. Hon KIM CHANCE: Yes, but my understanding is that if the Leader of the Opposition asks the question tomorrow, an answer will be available to that and a similar question.
