OUTER HARBOR

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:15): My question is again to the Minister for Tourism. Will the minister advise the house whether she intends to upgrade the Outer Harbor passenger terminal to a standard worthy of international cruise ships?

The Hon. J.D. LOMAX-SMITH (Adelaide—Minister for Education, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (15:15): When did the Liberals sell it off? What year was that—2000, 2001? Until the Liberals sold off Outer Harbor, we might have had considerable responsibility or control. Maybe the member for Unley does not realise that the facility is not owned by the state government any more: it is actually owned by private enterprise. Whilst Flinders Ports does a brilliant job, I have to say that he may not be quite up to date and know that it is not a state government facility.
