SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:58): My question is again to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Was the minister briefed on matters raised in a draft of TRSA's Lipman Karas review that were later removed in the production of the final report?

The minister informed the house on 4 March that he had not yet received a copy of the Lipman Karas report but had received a briefing by Mr Bentley and Mr Bolton, the chair and deputy chair respectively of TRSA. At this time he told the parliament 'they might have talked a little about content'. Mr Bentley has since acknowledged publicly that an earlier draft of the report contained references to Cheltenham that were later expunged.

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:59): The member is correct. I remember what I said at the time, without having it in front of me, that the briefing was primarily about process, and it may have been that they might have touched on something with regard to content. I said that quite deliberately because I did not want to be accused of misleading the house. Since that question in the house that the member refers to, I have checked and the Director of Racing informs me that content was not covered in that meeting.
