        <text id="2012061483c53931d30e46bbb0000241">1.&amp;#x9;This government has not made any contribution towards the installation of disability access at the South Australian Travel Centre.</text>

        <text id="2012061483c53931d30e46bbb0000242">There is the provision in the license agreement between South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) and Holidays of Australia for Holidays of Australia to seek reimbursement for a portion of the cost of installation of the fully compliant wheelchair lift. This reimbursement has not been sought.</text>
        <text id="2012061483c53931d30e46bbb0000243">2.&amp;#x9;The disabled access was installed on 1 September 2011.</text>

Holidays of Australia did not own any product and was therefore in a position of neutrality, promoting all products equally.</text>

        <text id="2012061483c53931d30e46bbb0000247">The Holidays of Australia tender was selected as the best option in a competitive tender process. The short time between awarding the contract and handing over to Holidays of Australia caused a delay in the installation of suitable disability access, which was installed as soon as practicable after the change over to the new operation.</text>
