CAMPBELLTOWN LEISURE CENTRE

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:12): My question is also to the Premier. Can the Premier advise why he has failed to secure a commitment to funding from his federal Labor counterparts for the Campbelltown Leisure Centre project to match the $7.5 million commitment from the federal Liberal Party for this important recreation facility in Adelaide's eastern suburbs?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: On a point of order, taking the lead of the member for Davenport earlier, I guess the opposition still does not believe the Premier is responsible to the house for federal funding.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Morialta, is that a point of order?

Mr GARDNER: It is clear that the Premier has responsibility for arguing his case with his federal counterparts.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I withdraw my point of order, Madam Speaker.

The SPEAKER: It is a shame you withdrew it, because I think it is almost a point of order. I would have upheld it. The Premier.

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) (15:13): I know there is a 1970s sitcom that immediately comes to mind, but I would have liked to see the honourable member leap to his feet and congratulate this government on its commitment to the Campbelltown Leisure Centre. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
