ADELAIDE OVAL

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:54): My question is to the Treasurer. Following the Treasurer's ministerial statement, which included the comments 'any costs in excess of this cap' (the $535 million) 'will need to be funded by cricket and football from their own resources', does the Treasurer mean only the SANFL and SACA; and, if so, have they agreed?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:55): I think the honourable member's question, if I can understand it, is: have SACA and the SANFL agreed to contribute more than we are putting into the project?

The Hon. I.F. Evans: To pay the excess.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: To pay the excess. Well, that is up to them. The SMA has not concluded exact final costings. It is working that through. These projects cannot and are not done quickly. At that point, once they see what they get for $450 million, the SANFL and the SACA may or may not choose to put some money in if they want some extra bells and whistles on it, but our number is capped. The only issue will be—

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Hello? Excuse me, did someone 'holler for a marshall'?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Premier should stick to his day job, I think.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Madam Speaker, I think that the member for Adelaide is getting somewhat scared back there with the yelling and the screaming. Member for Norwood, just—

The Hon. P.F. Conlon interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Premier will get back to the question.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Do that again. Do that shaky bit again. Do that giggle dance.

The Hon. P.F. Conlon: Danger, Will Robinson!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Danger, Will Robinson, danger! Who thought Robert Brokenshire had left this chamber? He has been reincarnated in the member for Norwood. If we are successful in the hosting of the World Cup there may be some small additional additions to the oval, which will be funded via the commonwealth government grant.
