House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Public Transport Levy Public Transport Levy Mr WINGARD House of Assembly Mitchell Public Transport Levy Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:54): My question is to the Minister for Transport. Has the minister scoped or discussed with the SMA, or others, the option of charging the public transport levy for events at the Adelaide Oval and still requiring event goers to pay for their public transport tickets to the events as well? The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development Public Transport Levy The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:54): I thank the member for Mitchell for his question. I know he has had a keen and ongoing interest in it. Indeed, we have had a recent development today on this matter. After initially not supporting this policy and then voting for the legislation and then once again not supporting the policy, we've had another change in policy from the opposition. In fact, it is a rare thing for an opposition to break an election commitment and yet they have succeeded. Mr KNOLL House of Assembly Mr KNOLL: Point of order: the minister is not responsible for the opposition. The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is warned for the second and final time. I ask the minister to address the substance of the question. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: With pleasure. If I understand the member's question, he is asking whether we would expect people who are attending an event which is hosted by the Stadium Management Authority at Adelaide Oval to pay for a ticket and potentially also be in receipt of free public transport. That is, of course, what we provided last year throughout the entire AFL season.
