Barossa Contemporary

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:59): My question is to the Premier. Did the South Australian government subsidise the $390 a head Iridescence dinner at the Barossa Contemporary held in the Barossa Valley on the weekend?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:59): I think it's a matter of public record that the Barossa Contemporary festival in trial this year was something which was supported by the SATC (South Australian Tourism Commission), which of course operates independently of the government, but is provided with funding from the government. They were awarded money—

The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell: With 100 per cent taxpayers' dollars.

The SPEAKER: The member for Mawson is warned for a second time.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —as part of that rollout.
