ROLLER DERBY

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:03): I have a supplementary question. My understanding was that the approach to Events SA was two years ago. However, regardless of that, I also understand that the Adelaide Roller Derby League is one of two leagues that are not members of Skate Australia and that Skate Australia refused access for anyone participating in the Great Southern Slam to be insured for that event. Will the minister undertake to investigate that?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:03): I will be happy to do that. I accept what the honourable member says about a request that may have been made two years ago. I do not have information available to talk about that, but I have been advised that they were also approached last week—

The Hon. T.A. Franks: By a television company.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: Yes, as I have already said; I can say it all again—by a TV production company that requested $5,000 and Events SA was unable to accommodate that. However, I accept that other requests may have been made in the past. I am not aware of them, but I am happy to look at that and happy to look at options for the future.
