House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:34): My question is to the Premier. How much additional debt will be required to fund the remainder of the Aboriginal art gallery due beyond the forward estimates? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:34): I thank the member for his question. As this house would be aware, this is a priority project for our government—and for our state, quite frankly. We are in possession of some of the most incredible collections in the world of both Aboriginal art and artefacts. We believe that these are collections that should be shared with the rest of the world. We believe that this will create an incredible attraction to Adelaide, to South Australia, bringing people from interstate and overseas, increasing those tourist numbers to South Australia. To my knowledge, $150 million is committed in the budget towards this project to date. That includes a contribution from the state government, which was included in last year's state budget, and a further contribution from the federal government, which was incorporated into the City Deal. In the budget that was presented the other day, so in the upcoming financial year, we have half a million dollars committed to the full detailed costing of the Aboriginal art and cultures centre, and we will bring that information back to the house as soon as it's concluded.
