ADELAIDE OVAL

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:06): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure. Will the minister confirm that the new western grandstand at the Adelaide Oval partially blocks the north-west light tower and that this will compromise the televising of AFL football matches and as a result at least that tower and potentially all four towers will have to be raised?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:06): I certainly cannot confirm that because my role has not been to design the new stadium. Many people might think it is a good idea that it is not my role. I will happily try to get an answer from the people who are responsible for such things. What I can say is that whatever occurs at Adelaide Oval we will not go down the path of retractable lights that don't work. We think they are up there with one-way expressways as bad ideas.
