Does the Premier stand by his answer to the House of Assembly in this question time that he did not attend the Transcendence dance party?

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:05):</by>  Yes, that's correct. I very distinctly remember leaving the dinner and driving home. I had an early morning appointment with the Treasurer at 7am and so I certainly didn't go to a dance party after the dinner on Saturday night.</text>
        <text id="202110123a18412ae4fd4798b0000748">It was a very busy day. I did a wonderful press conference down in the seat of Elder with people who were very pleased about their water price reductions—in fact, a more than $200 reduction for the average household, so I can remember that the next morning. Then, of course, I went onto the Madonna dell Grazie di Panduri Festa, which the Leader of the Opposition also attempted—I mean 'attended'. He did attempt some Italian as well, which was very good, so we both had a bit of Italian language being spoken there.</text>
        <text id="202110123a18412ae4fd4798b0000749">Certainly, I did not travel to the event that the member referred to after the dinner. I did in a previous answer talk about attending an event on the Friday night, but this wasn't a dance party. I don't know the name of that, but it was essentially a light show which was held at Beckwith Park. I also attended at 6 o'clock on the Saturday night, prior to the dinner, an event called Lightwaves, which had some live music and, similarly, a light show.</text>
