Question Time

ADELAIDE OVAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): My question is to the Premier. When the state government commitment to the Adelaide Oval was $450 million the Premier said:

We, the government, have been prepared to put in $450 million but they, the SANFL, AFL and SACA, have to kick in the tin as well. After all, it is for their benefit.

Now that the state government commitment to the Adelaide Oval is $535 million, how much will the SANFL, AFL and SACA have to kick in the tin, for, after all, to quote the Premier, it is for their benefit?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:21): Here is an opposition—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Here is an opposition that had no costings for its stadium and no costings for its hospital. They have none at all. In fact, even their own—

Mr PISONI: I rise on a point of order in regard to debate, Madam Speaker. Just answer the question.

The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The Minister for Transport.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order: it is impossible to hear the Premier with the shrieking interjections and, might I say, witless interjections of the other side.

The SPEAKER: There has been a lot of noise. Premier, would you continue your answer please.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am pleased that members will hear me with the courtesy with which I heard the question. The fact of the matter is that the opposition gave no costings whatsoever for its proposed hospital.

Mr PISONI: Point of order. This is clearly debate. We just want an answer.

The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The Premier will stick to the question.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Rather than a mirage in the railway yards of the Liberals, what we are doing is committing to making a world-class stadium in a world-class icon a reality, and that is the difference.

Mr Williams interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the deputy leader!
