Question Time

ADELAIDE OVAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09): My question is to the Treasurer. When Andrew Demetriou entered discussions with the state government, did he declare that he would be getting a success fee by way of a bonus for obtaining money from the state government for the Adelaide Oval upgrade and, if so, does the Treasurer know how much this bonus was? It was reported in The Financial Review that:

Andrew Demetriou was paid extra for securing taxpayer support for new stadiums and teams. The AFL boss was rewarded for helping squeeze $450 million from the South Australian government for the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:10): The opposition knows no end to trying to destabilise and wreck the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval, and whoever they can dirty up in the process, so be it. I am not aware of Andrew Demetriou's remuneration situation at all or of the matters raised.
