Question Time

Adelaide Oval Hotel Development

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:24): My question is to the Premier. What role did John Olsen play in the Stadium Management Authority securing a $42 million loan for the proposed hotel development?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:25): Both SACA and SANFL have representatives on the Stadium Management Authority board. The Stadium Management Authority representatives of both SACA and SANFL came to visit me. They were accompanied by Andrew Daniels, the Chief Executive of the Stadium Management Authority. They advocated for the proposal. As I have repeatedly said, it is not a proposal that the government or the Liberal Party has put forward: this is a proposal that was put forward by the SMA for the reasons we have outlined in the parliament and in our public statements.
