ADC Global Blockchain Summit

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:34): My question is to the Premier. Did the Premier or anyone in his office ask the organisers to discount registration fees by 40 per cent due to low registration numbers for the ADC Global Blockchain Summit?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:35): I'm not aware of that.

Ms Hildyard interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Quite frankly, it just doesn't seem to be an issue—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Running a private conference doesn't really seem to be an issue for the office of the Premier.

Mr Brown interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We are more interested, sir, as you would be aware—

The SPEAKER: Yes.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We are more interested in things like the unemployment rate, driving the unemployment rate down. Those opposite seemed very interested in this question on Tuesday—not so interested today.

The SPEAKER: Has the Premier finished his answer?

The Hon. C.L. Wingard interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before I go to the member for West Torrens, the Minister for Police is called to order.
