Question Time

Harness Racing SA

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing.

Members interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! Member for Hartley, you might want to start again.

Mr TARZIA: My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Is the minister aware of infighting within the Harness Racing SA community and, if so, how is she going to intervene? With leave of the house, sir, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TARZIA: The opposition has been contacted by various members of the Harness Racing SA community about various disputes that are occurring at the moment.

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:43): Thank you to the shadow minister for his question. As he knows, Harness Racing SA is the designated controlling body for harness racing in South Australia and deals with matters pertaining to harness racing, to various matters that arise in the course of harness racing and in relation to clubs and how they operate, etc. I am sure the controlling body will continue to deal with any matters as they arise and as is appropriate.
