DEFENCE SA

In reply to Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (7 October 2010).

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Motor Sport, Minister Assisting the Premier with the Olympic Dam Expansion Project): I understand that the proposed budget savings will be achieved through greater cost recovery from industry participants at major defence trade events coupled with a reduction in sponsorship, Defence State marketing and promotion activities. Individual measures will be determined as part of Defence SA's ongoing business planning processes.
