          <by role="member" id="1819">The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: </by> Following the privatisation of the South Australian Visitor and Travel Centre, a number of issues have been raised with me by industry operators and members of the public. These issues include the lack of disability access at the new site and concern over changes to commission structure. The minister disclosed to the estimates committee that funds were provided for the improving of disability access at the Grenfell Street site. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20110706137d3e6fb2884ef380000552">1.&amp;#x9;How much is this government paying to ensure the new privatised visitor information centre is suitable for customers with a disability?</text>
        <text id="20110706137d3e6fb2884ef380000553">2.&amp;#x9;When will the disability access modifications be completed?</text>
        <text id="20110706137d3e6fb2884ef380000554">3.&amp;#x9;Will Holidays of Australia actively promote all products and have a strict policy of neutrality towards products?</text>
        <text id="20110706137d3e6fb2884ef380000555">4.&amp;#x9;Will similar brochures and information services be available at the travel centre as were available before the privatisation?</text>
        <text id="20110706137d3e6fb2884ef380000556">5.&amp;#x9;Why has minister Rau allowed this whole privatisation process to turn into such a debacle?</text>
