ADELAIDE OVAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Premier. Given that on Tuesday this week in response to my question as to when the public would get to see the design plans for the Adelaide Oval, the Premier stated:

In the next few days. I also understand that the Liberal opposition is being given a briefing next Wednesday.

Can the Premier explain why, in an email to my chief of staff this afternoon regarding that proposed briefing, Leigh Whicker stated:

We will not be in a position to present proposed plans on the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval as we are currently completing a comprehensive review of each component.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

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) (14:43): And do you know why that happened? Because what we said—$535 million—anything else in your plan, in your designs, you are paying for yourself. So I am pleased that you will be getting the same designs that I will be getting.
