Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Generations in Jazz Generations in Jazz The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Generations in Jazz The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:00): Supplementary: why does the minister think that the Generations in Jazz festival does not deserve major event status? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade Generations in Jazz The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:00): I have just explained that it is an event that is of global significance. It has been done with a team of community volunteers. It goes from strength to strength on every particular occasion. It gets bigger and better every year. Interestingly, I think that they have also looked for a little bit of funding out of next year's community events program, but it's a world-class event. Naming it as a major event doesn't change the fact that its 500 community volunteers make this event really successful. I sat and I spoke to a number of the people there. We were looking at how we can take it to another level, but of course every bit of the community is chock-a-block full—every hotel, footy clubs within a 100-kilometre radius. It's a great event and continues to go from strength to strength.
