E3Sixty

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:36): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment a question regarding investment meetings.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: On 16 October 2019, the minister was asked whether he had met with a company called E3Sixty. The minister advised the chamber that he met with E3Sixty in Sydney after meeting them in Adelaide at, and I quote, 'an event I think in the Parklands. It might have been WOMADelaide or one of those things. I don't remember exactly.' My question is: will the minister advise who from E3Sixty he met with and where the meeting occurred?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:36): I thank the honourable member for her ongoing interest in E3Sixty. My recollection is that I certainly met with them in Sydney and I can probably consult with my office and get an answer as to the exact address of the office and what floor it was on and which room and all of the details the honourable member might like. E3Sixty is a company that specialises in recycling electrical waste. I met the gentleman at an event, but I just couldn't have a conversation. I said, 'Next time I'm in Sydney I will call in and we will try to have a discussion and if there are some opportunities for investment in South Australia then next time you are down we can organise some meetings with the department to try to further that investment opportunity.'
