Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time South Australian Tourism Commission South Australian Tourism Commission The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council South Australian Tourism Commission The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:45): A supplementary question arising from the answer: just confirming that you haven't asked your department or anyone to conduct a review of this process. The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment South Australian Tourism Commission The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:45): I didn't think the member's first question was about the review, but as members will recall, the Premier and I had an extensive meeting with the chairman and the chief executive to go through the whole process as to how it was on the Monday—and I forget the particular date—I think it was, before the first sitting and opening of parliament. My understanding is that all of the unsuccessful tenderers were offered a debrief as to why they weren't successful. I don't know if any or all of them have taken that up. The honourable member would realise that it is a four year—it is a two plus one plus one, so it is at least two years. I have had a number of discussions. I haven't asked them to formally review why it was done because it was a process that was undertaken over about six months. I am aware of the process. I am aware of the rules. The State Procurement Board approved the whole acquisition. So it was done under the previous government's rules. I haven't asked for— The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Leader of the Opposition, restrain yourself. The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I have not asked for a formal review but, of course, as we work through the next year or two with a whole range of things that this government will be doing about growing South Australia's economy, we will be looking at a whole range of things to do with tenders and contracts. In particular, I want to make sure that our creative services industry here is well-equipped to look to winning contracts next time, but I haven't undertaken or instigated a review in about the, what is it, five weeks since this became public.
