AAMI STADIUM

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (15:09): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. What advice did the minister's department provide to him on the $100 million proposal to upgrade facilities at AAMI Stadium and was it consistent with the government's decision?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:10): Of course, a lot of work was done in this area. We see this is a priority for the government, and that is why we have come forward with $100 million. As the Deputy Premier has already said, the roof will be a key asset, as will the entry and exit gates and the new catering facility in the western grandstand. This is good priority.
