Question Time

ADELAIDE OVAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:14): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am sure you always listen very carefully to our questions. What we want is good answers. My question is to the Treasurer. Is the reason that the Treasurer directed the Stadium Management Authority not to raise Adelaide Oval costings in a briefing on 3 March because on 19 February the Treasurer was told that the costs had blown out and, under the caretaker provisions, it would have been necessary to provide the same briefing to the opposition which would thus have revealed the cost blowout during the election campaign?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:15): Yes; a quote from David Bevan. I gave a detailed answer to the house on this and all matters yesterday, and I have been very forthright and forthcoming.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: I have nothing more to add.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I remind members that they will see on our daily program today that at approximately 3:20 we will suspend and I will go over to Government House, and I will invite any members to accompany me. Just keep that in mind. The member for Light.
