SOUTH AUSTRALIAN VISITOR AND TRAVEL CENTRE

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Tourism. Will the minister confirm that there were at least two tenderers for the privatised South Australian Visitor and Travel Centre whose proposals were for a street-level facility, complete with disability access, and can he further confirm that at least one of those tenderers was the RAA?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Urban Development, Planning and the City of Adelaide, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Food Marketing) (15:01): I do not think it is appropriate for me to give answers here if I am not absolutely certain of them, so I will tell you what I do know. I do know of reports, allegedly from the RAA, that they were a tenderer and an unsuccessful one; whether that is true or not I do not know.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: The second question is: do I know what floor they or the other people that I may or may not know about have their places? No, I don't.
