International Direct Flights

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:53): A supplementary arising from the original answer: from the minister's answers, does his own department, DTTI, play any role in airline attraction, and, if so, what role?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:53): I explained in my previous answer that the work is done by Adelaide Airport and the South Australian Tourism Commission.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Honourable members are making a noise on my right, but it is Adelaide Airport Limited and the Tourism Commission that actually focus on attracting airlines to South Australia.
