Which other events—can you let the South Australian public know?</text>

MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:54):</by>  There is no tax. A tax implies a consistent charge across the board levied on a broad number of people. As has been made abundantly clear, particularly to the people on the other side of the chamber, there is no consistent charge. It will be up to the singular discussions which occur for each separate event, each commercial profit-making event with attendances estimated to be over 5,000.</text>
