Barossa Contemporary Festival
The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Supplementary: was the minister informed by the Minister for Tourism that this regional event would be axed?
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:00): As I mentioned, I think the minister would make all the decisions in regard to the continuance or otherwise of particular events based on a variety of information, particularly around attendance numbers, particularly around economic benefit.
Members interjecting:
The PRESIDENT: Order!
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: I know that the minister has excellent relationships with many stakeholder groups, particularly the tourism associations in the variety of the regions, as well as a number of stakeholders here in the capital city. Of course, she is happy to be able to listen to stakeholders' views, something that the former Liberal government clearly never bothered to do, and she will make her decisions based on that sound analysis.
