Major Events

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (15:16): My question is to the Premier. How much did the government commit to attain the LIV Golf tournament and also the extra round of AFL in 2023?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (15:16): As I have foreshadowed publicly, and as I am more than happy to do in this place, our commitment to attracting major events is sincere. It has the intent of driving economic growth in the state, particularly in the areas I foreshadowed earlier. The funding for both the AFL's 24th round, nominally now called the Magic Round with a new name pending, along with LIV Golf, is coming from the major events attraction fund, which the Treasurer outlined in the budget earlier this year.
