Major Events

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:19): My question is to the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Can he please outline the procurement process for all major events and managed events that are handled by his department in terms of what events go out to tender for suppliers' goods and services and what are done internally through a preferred tender process that is not subject to any public input?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:19): I thank the honourable member for her question. As members would be aware, that is quite a complex question for which I don't have any information here in relation to how they go about tendering and which ones are in and out. The member has explained herself fully and I will refer that to the South Australian Tourism Commission and bring back a response.
