          <by role="member" id="5413">The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:37):</by>  My question is for the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Will the minister advise why the infamous South Coast party house, called Luxe Haus, which is owned by a convicted sex offender, was removed from the South Australian Tourism Commission website, precisely when it was removed, and why did it take so long to remove the house from the website?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:37):</by>  I am just seeing whether I have some information around it provided to me but I don't believe I have. We know that Luxe Haus has been subject to some significant media interest, and I think all members would agree that, if what we read in the media is accurate, probably a fair bit of inappropriate (by community standards) behaviour that goes on. Certainly, I know that the Tourism Commission counselled the manager, I think, or the person who controls the marketing. They had some discussions around the activities that went on and the behaviour that was there.</text>
        <text id="201910163f3f3517511c4a8ca0000097">Clearly, they have breached that again, and my understanding is, and I am advised, that the Tourism Commission has now removed it from their website. It was never involved in any marketing campaigns, it was on there and there was a link to it, and my understanding, I am advised, is that they have removed it.</text>
