The Hon. SANDRA KANCK: I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for the Arts a question about a KPMG review of the plan for a $36 million redevelopment of the State Library.
 Leave granted.
 The Hon. SANDRA KANCK: In January this year a major redevelopment of the State Library was announced. It was reported at the time that KPMG had conducted a review of the planned upgrade and that the development proposal had been altered as a result of that review. In my capacity as the Democrats' Arts spokesperson, I sought a copy of the consultant's review. After my informal request for a copy of the review was rejected, I sought a copy under the Freedom of Information Act. Again my request was refused, this time on the ground that the report was commissioned by and was part of Cabinet's information for the decision-making process and hence exempt from freedom of information requests. Rather, I have been offered a briefing on the document. Why is the Minister using Cabinet status as an excuse not to release a review of a proposal to spend $36 million worth of taxpayers' funds on the redevelopment of the State Library?
  The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: It is not an excuse: a protocol is in place. As the honourable member would be aware if she chose to recall, the redevelopment was approved by Cabinet following a submission that we proceed with such a project. Cabinet wanted a rigorous look at the costs, and certainly I was very keen to see that Cabinet was provided with information that would give it the confidence to invest in the project. As the honourable member would appreciate, Cabinet has approved and Government has now announced a $36 million investment in the State Library as part of our 10 year infrastructure plan to rebuild and revitalise our cultural institutions along North Terrace.
