VAILO Adelaide 500

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:40): My question is to the Treasurer. Has VAILO or its founder paid for any corporate hospitality at the Adelaide 500 this week and, if so, when were those payments made and how much?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries) (14:40): I would have to look into that because there are many businesses in South Australia that realise that it is a significant opportunity for them to promote their businesses and also to entertain those with whom they do business by taking out corporate hospitality suites.

As those opposite might imagine, the government doesn't necessarily have a running tally on which corporate facilities are being hosted by which of course we are aware that, for example, media outlets in South Australia have those facilities, the broadcasters have those facilities and prominent businesses here in South Australia have those facilities. But perhaps when the shadow treasurer is walking through with the benefit of his tickets that he has received for the weekend, he can investigate the matter personally himself.
