MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22):</by>  In his time as opposition tourism spokesperson, did the minister ever have a meeting with Christian Prudhomme? For the minister's benefit, because he is looking very vague, he is the head of the Tour de France.</text>

I went to the meeting and they said, 'Sorry, we can't talk to you. We've had a contact from the minister's office in Adelaide. We can't do that.'</text>
