The inquiry into the New South Wales government's planned $5.3 billion power sell off continues in Sydney on 18th January 2011.
The State's Premier, Kristina Keneally, and state Treasurer Eric Roozendaal were grilled at the hearing yesterday.
Ms Keneally refused to rule out suing eight energy company directors, who quit over the planned power deal, if they talk to the inquiry.
Ms Keneally also admitted she closed parliament last December, knowing it could derail any scrutiny over the power sell off.
NSW Treasurer Eric Roozendaal says he's 'not at all concerned' by what former energy directors could tell an inquiry into the state's electricity assets.
Eight directors who quit over the government's $5.3 billion power deal had refused to give evidence over fears they may not be protected by parliamentary privilege.
But the chair of the upper house inquiry, Fred Nile, told the first day of hearings on Monday a number of them would summonsed to appear at a hearing next week.
Mr Roozendaal on Tuesday welcomed 'any scrutiny', saying the entire process had been 'very public' from the start.
'I am not at all concerned (about letting the former directors speak about why they resigned) and I welcome anybody to make any contribution,' he told ABC Radio.
'I welcome scrutiny because I am confident that this transaction will stand up to any scrutiny at any point in time.'
The treasurer was asked why Premier Kristina Keneally had refused to recall parliament to indemnify the directors or to guarantee the government wouldn't sue them.
'It's up to those individual directors if they choose to participate in this process,' Mr Roozendaal replied.
He also dodged questions about his own duties as treasurer, remaining adamant he had done everything required of him for the people of NSW.
'It's my responsibility to ensure that this transaction is done appropriately, meets all probity requirements and is open to all proper scrutiny and I've certainly done that,' Mr Roozendaal said
