SA Progressive Business Annual Cabinet Exchange Forum

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:38): Does the minister accept many South Australians would find it disturbing that their minister is going to be having private conversations on a pay-for-access basis and why won't the minister advise where the event is being held?

The PRESIDENT: The second part of your supplementary question is probably relevant. I'm not sure about the first part.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:39): In relation to where it is being held, it is somewhere in Adelaide. I don't know. The Festival Centre? Convention Centre? It would be one of the areas that hosts events. I am not sure which hall it is in, but I will be happy to consult my diary late this afternoon and perhaps give the honourable member a call to let him know where I will be on Friday in case he wants to catch up for a chardonnay after work.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Simms, you have a further supplementary question arising from your original answer?
