A report on that event must be tabled in parliament under section 27D of the South Australian Motor Sport Act 1984 within three months of the event. I believe the closest working day to that first requirement under these provisions, that the report had to be provided to the Premier, was 26 February 2024.</text>
        <text id="2024032135ffc00b196e47f690000118">The act also allows the Premier to then consider and table the report within six sitting days. That condition needed to be met by today, Thursday 21 March 2024, the last day the information could be tabled to meet the legislative requirements. My question, therefore, to the Premier is: why has he or the Motorsport Board not complied with the requirements of the act in their reporting obligations to this parliament?</text>
