SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I have a supplementary question. I again ask the Premier: when was he first informed, and what discussions has he had with Mr Bentley relating to the matter?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:26): Mr Bentley mentioned this to me in a conversation which probably lasted seconds and in which he said that he was going to be investigating some matters in the horseracing industry and that obviously he would do the right and proper thing with legal advice, which I imagine would be the correct thing.

Mr Hamilton-Smith interjecting:

The Hon. M.D. RANN: I can find out. I can look through the diary to see whether I can find a day when a 30 second conversation took place. Can I say this: it is very interesting to me that the racing industry elected Mr Bentley to reform the racing industry, to clean up the racing industry, but members of the Liberal Party involve themselves in branch stacking and do not want corruption weeded out anywhere.
