          <by role="member" id="5418">The Hon. C. BONAROS:</by>  Adelaide Casino—SkyCity Casino. Yesterday, in this place, I asked the Treasurer a number of questions about the operations of SkyCity Adelaide Casino and specifically if the government was aware that shortly after the release of the Bergin report into the operations of casinos in Victoria and Western Australia the commissioner for consumer and business affairs here—that is, the state's gambling regulator—commenced a review of SkyCity's operations.</text>
        <text id="20210526014ddd8643ea46a480000209">The answer the Treasurer gave on numerous occasions was that if there was, and I quote, 'anything further that's useful that I can bring back to the house, I'll be happy to do so'. He also repeated that he had answered questions in this place but also publicly about this issue. My staff and I have checked and the only comments that we can find that the Treasurer has made on this issue is that the commissioner has advised the government that he doesn't believe an independent inquiry is necessary but hasn't made any public comments on the review the commissioner is undertaking. So my question to the Treasurer is:</text>
        <text id="20210526014ddd8643ea46a480000210">1.&amp;#x9;Is he aware of the commissioner's review and his reasons for undertaking that review?</text>
        <text id="20210526014ddd8643ea46a480000211">2.&amp;#x9;Can the Treasurer please provide specific details about the terms of reference or objectives of that review and the commissioner's reasons for conducting the review?</text>
        <text id="20210526014ddd8643ea46a480000212">3. &amp;#x9;When are the findings of this review due to be handed to the government, and will they be made public?</text>

          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17):</by>  I can't really add too much more than what I said yesterday, but in relation to the further questions the honourable member has raised, which might appertain to the nature of a review the commissioner is undertaking, I am happy to seek advice via the Attorney-General of the commissioner to see whether there is anything useful that he might be prepared to provide to the chamber which would assist the honourable member in answers to her questions.</text>
