ADELAIDE OVAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. As the SANFL, the AFL and the SACA have indicated that they are not going to put any money into the project, does that mean it is dead in the water?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:21): Not only does the leader reiterate her absolute hatred for seeing football in this state improve, but—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: —there are tens of thousands of South Australians from—

Mr WILLIAMS: I have a point of order, Madam Speaker.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order. Member for MacKillop.

Mr WILLIAMS: Relevance. The Treasurer was simply asked: is the project dead in the water?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: I don't believe it is, Madam Speaker, and I believe that the day of reckoning will come for the Liberal Party when we get a signature on the bottom line from the Crows, the Power, the SANFL and the SACA. What then will the Liberal Party do? What will you do? Madam Speaker, the leader speaks with a forked tongue.

Mr WILLIAMS: I have a point of order, Madam Speaker.

The SPEAKER: Order! There is a point of order.

Mr WILLIAMS: It is out of order to ask hypothetical questions and it is out of order for the minister to ask the opposition questions.

The SPEAKER: Treasurer. I do not uphold that point of order.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: The Leader of the Opposition speaks with forked tongue—because, do you know what she told Andrew Demetriou—

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: No, let's hear this. I saw it reported. Do you know what she told Andrew Demetriou in a private briefing?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: This needs some silence, because it is an important point for members opposite to hear, because this is what your leader said to the head of the AFL. This is what was reported on the television and in the media, that is, if football (Crows, Power) and SACA sign off, the Liberal Party will support the project. It will support the project. So, there we go. You will support the project.

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: You will support the project.

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: You will support the project.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The last question the leader asked as a supplementary. It was very close to a full question, I thought. However, I will give her the benefit of the doubt this time. The member for Ashford.
