SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:59): I have a supplementary question. Is the minister confirming that there were no discussions about the removal of references to the sale of Cheltenham that were in the draft report?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: With the greatest of respect, the member has left her previous occupation. Supplementary questions are not a means to rephrase a question in the manner of cross-examination.

The SPEAKER: Whether it was a supplementary question or not, the opposition have already had two supplementary questions. So, for the purposes of the number of questions that they have, this question counts as a question in its own right, in any case. I would need to have a close look at the supplementary and the original question to work out whether it was just a rephrasing of the original question. I will give the minister an opportunity to respond.

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:00): I can respond, and I am happy to do so; I will do so briefly. As I said in my previous answer, I was informed by the Director of Racing, Mr Denis Harvey, that content was not covered in that particular meeting where the chair and the deputy chair came and briefed me about the process.

The other aspect that I think the member was asking about is with regard to a draft report. To the best of my memory, I do not remember a draft report being raised with me and, as a consequence, I would not know what was in it or what was not in it. The first time I received the report I referred to in my ministerial statement today was the first opportunity that I had to read and digest the information in the Lipman Karas report.
