As the number one ticketholder of the Adelaide 36ers, does the Premier have confidence in the conduct of Grant Kelley as owner of South Australia's only NBL team, the Adelaide 36ers.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:46):</by>  I am very pleased to be a supporter of the 36ers in South Australia. I must say that the transfer of the games to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre has resulted in very significant increases in attendance. Obviously, the season didn't end exactly and precisely as everybody wanted it to, with the 36ers missing the finals this year.</text>
        <text id="202003036ab12d2852a948b2a0000450">I must say, I went to I think the final game for the year. Despite that fact that I think it was almost mathematically impossible for the 36ers to get into the finals, it was still a fabulous crowd. I think this demonstrates very clearly just how passionate 36ers fans are in South Australia.</text>
        <text id="202003036ab12d2852a948b2a0000451">Since coming to the current role that Grant Kelley has with the 36ers he has shown a huge amount of passion and support for basketball in South Australia, and I know that he has personally made significant investments into the 36ers team. As I said, I suppose he is as disappointed as anybody that there haven't been quite the results in terms of the finals appearances that they would have liked this year.</text>
