Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Luxe Haus Luxe Haus The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Luxe Haus The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): Supplementary arising from the answer the minister gave: the minister has said that he met Mr Ahlburg before he became a minister and that's why he thinks saying, 'No, I don't recall meeting him at all,' is acceptable. The minister also said that he didn't meet him on the 18^th but maybe on another date close to that. How many times has the minister met Mr Ahlburg in total? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade Luxe Haus The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:29): I wish the honourable member would listen. I said the 19^th, not the 18^th, but clearly he doesn't want to listen. Can I give the honourable member a bit of a snapshot. In opposition, for 16 years, I did about four events a week ranging from 10 people to 100,000 people. Let's say it averaged 500 people; I have interacted with 1.6 million people. I have no idea how many interactions I may have had with him. That is why I refer the honourable member to my final sentence: it is likely that there have been occasions since when we would have both been guests at the same events, but I have no recollection of any specific interactions.
