Question Time

Superloop Adelaide 500

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): My question is to the Treasurer regarding major events. What was the exact cost to South Australia for hosting the Adelaide 500 car race earlier this year? What was the total economic benefit to South Australia, both in dollar terms and jobs, for the last time the Adelaide 500 car race was held here?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:20): I will need to take advice on that, but the cost was millions. I think the minister responsible has said something north of $10 million, but I will take that on advisement and seek his advice and bring back a reply.
