SOUTH AUSTRALIAN TRAVEL CENTRE

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:01): My question is to the Treasurer. What is the total cost to government of the new tourism visitor centre, including the cost of alterations for disabled access, cancelling the Holidays of Australia contract, and re-taking control of the tourism centre?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:01): I haven't got the figures in front of me, but the decision to transfer the running of the tourism centre over to a private body was part of a savings exercise undertaken by the Tourism Commission—a decision, if I am correct, of the Tourism Commission board to adopt that as a way of achieving their savings targets that were placed on them as part of the 2010 budget.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I'm more than happy to come back with an answer.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
