MR WHALAN: Mr Collaery has just made an interjection which I find particularly offensive, Mr Speaker, but it is consistent with the type of behaviour that we have come to expect of this person and his abuse of the privileges of this chamber. I really sincerely hope that after today we see a complete and dramatic change in the behaviour of this person.

I conclude, Mr Speaker, by saying that the processes for the casino licence are even more demanding than they are with normal large projects. A summary of the procedures which will be required in relation to the granting of the casino licence reads as follows:

. Expressions of interest called for seeking developers and nominated casino operators.

. Initial internal assessment of viability and expression of developer and operator.

. Full submissions called for including financial capabilities and full disclosure of all key personnel and associations.

. Analysis of submissions from developers. Reference to independent assessors for architectural and financial competence. Reference to Australian Federal Police for full investigation concerning integrity requirements.

. Recommendation of short list to Cabinet.

. Investigation of short listed applicants by Casino Surveillance Authority.

. Consideration by Cabinet of applications, assessments and reports of the Casino Surveillance Authority.

. Report by Minister to Legislative Assembly of arrangements concerning community facilities.

. Grant of licence by Minister.
