SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Will the minister make himself and his staff available to appear before the Select Committee on Certain Matters Relating to Horse Racing in South Australia; and will the minister make available and table all records of emails and telephone conversations he has had with Mr Ploubidis during his term as CEO of the SAJC?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:48): As I have said before, no minister—Labor or Liberal—would allow allegations of irregularities or improprieties to be put to him or her and not do something about it. As I have said previously, as a matter of urgency, I would report that to the Independent Gambling Authority.

With regard to the tenor of the question, I have done better. I have already written to the select committee. This select committee, of course, is the Liberal parliamentary committee—the kangaroo court, which is not supported by the racing industry—which is abusing the propriety of the racing industry. I have written to this select committee to inform it of what I said to the media on Friday, re-emphasising those points, and I stand by those points.
