Peter Malinauskas, announced plans to redevelop the North Adelaide Golf Course as part of a deal to secure LIV Golf's future in Adelaide. In making the announcement, the Premier indicated his desire to work with the Adelaide City Council in advancing any redevelopment, but he also indicated that backup legislation was an option that he could pursue. The Hon. Connie Bonaros and the Hon. Sarah Game were both quoted in the Premier's media release and have stated their intention to provide support for any legislation. My question to the Minister for Recreation and Sport therefore is:</text>
        <text id="2025021803ce188c85144e1580000268">1.&amp;#x9;Has the minister been briefed on any potential backup legislation required to redevelop the golf course?</text>
        <text id="2025021803ce188c85144e1580000269">2.&amp;#x9;Can she confirm whether legislation will in fact be required?</text>
        <text id="2025021803ce188c85144e1580000270">3.&amp;#x9;Will the minister table any draft bill in this chamber this week so that all members of the parliament have an opportunity to see it, or is this just another secret One Nation deal?</text>

BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:29):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. Obviously, decisions made by other members in this chamber are their decisions and their conversations to be had.</text>
        <text id="2025021803ce188c85144e1580000274">LIV Golf is an incredible event that brings many to our community from across the world, as the member knows. I think the Premier made it clear in his public comments that he is working with the community, with the local council, and that his door is open. I encourage the honourable member to knock on that door and go and have that conversation with the Premier.</text>
