OLYMPIC TRACK CYCLING TEAM

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. Will the minister retract his comments made yesterday in the house regarding the members of the Norwood Cycling Club in the 2012 Olympic track team considering that there are, in fact three members of the Norwood Cycling Club—Annette Edmondson, Jack Bobridge and Glen O'Shea—in the Olympic team? Yesterday in question time the minister stated:

I am proud to confirm that seven of the 14 cyclists chosen to represent Australia for the 2012 London Olympics are from South Australia...I don't think there's anyone from the Norwood Cycling Club...

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Recreation and Sport.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport) (14:31): I am very, very pleased to hear that there are three members of the Norwood Cycling Club in the Olympic cycling team. I congratulate them. It is a great effort for the cycling team, it is a great effort for the Norwood club. It is very pleasing, as I said yesterday, to see seven South Australians in the Olympic team. It is a great effort, and the member for Norwood can pass on my congratulations to the Norwood Cycling Club for their fantastic effort.
