BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Tourism, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:04):</by>  Thank you very much for the question. The AVM (Adelaide Venue Management) made a decision, and that decision was made public. The state government was not informed about that ban. I don't agree with the decision, and we spoke, as did the chair of AVM, at that time. Regarding Mr Kirchner and his now no longer being the chief executive, that is subject to legal proceedings and I am unable to talk any further about that.</text>
