CRICKET ASSOCIATION DEBT

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:36): My question is to the Treasurer. Has the government had any discussions with SACA about the state government providing financial assistance to SACA to assist with its debt in the event that the $535 million Adelaide Oval upgrade does not proceed?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:36): I can advise the house that we have. It was the Premier who was the lead speaker on this matter to reinforce that of the Treasurer and it was made abundantly clear that two things will be the result should this vision of our government not proceed, that being the Adelaide Oval upgrade. Two things will happen: not one dollar will be spent on Football Park and, second, not one dollar will be provided to SACA for their outstanding debt.
