House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Port Adelaide Football Club Port Adelaide Football Club Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Port Adelaide Football Club Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:32): My question is to the Premier. Has the state government committed funding to assist Port Adelaide with preparations for its AFL match in China in May and, if so, how much? I redirect the question to the Minister for Sport. The Hon. M.L.J. HAMILTON-SMITH House of Assembly Waite Minister for Investment and Trade Minister for Small Business Minister for Defence Industries Minister for Veterans' Affairs Port Adelaide Football Club The Hon. M.L.J. HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Minister for Investment and Trade, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:33): I will answer the question. Although it strictly doesn't fit within my portfolio, it will be occurring within the context of a trade mission that will be held to Shandong, Shanghai and the remainder of China in May. My understanding is that Port Adelaide are pretty much running their own event. The state government has been extremely supportive. We are in discussions with Port Adelaide about what support we can provide, but essentially we give credit to Port Adelaide for the initiative they have shown and the leadership both within the AFL and the state. They will make an important contribution to the trade mission, and it will be an outstanding and historic occasion. It will be well viewed—it has already sold out—and it will be a wonderful complement to our trade mission and the growth in activities with China that are going from strength to strength.
