FIFA Women's World Cup

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): A further supplementary for the sake of clarification: is the minister saying that it remains a live option that Adelaide may host some World Cup women's soccer games in 2023 should Australia be successful, or has the Liberal Party abandoned plans completely?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:48): No. We have expressed to the FFA that we are still interested in participating in the 2023 World Cup bid. They then went out to see whether New Zealand might be involved or not. We still don't have clarity on that. As soon as we have clarity, we will be able to move forward.
