Adelaide Venue Management

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Tourism. Can the minister advise the house whether any termination or ex gratia payments have been made to former employees of the Adelaide Venue Management authority and, if they were, to what value? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA: On 29 September 2023, it was reported AVM CEO Anthony Kirchner was dismissed following the Coopers Stadium fan ban.

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Tourism, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:03): Thank you very much for your question. As you may recall, on 27 August Mr Kirchner was stood down pending a review by the AVM Board. Martin Radcliffe, who was the General Manager of the Convention Centre, has now been appointed the CEO through a hiring process. It is not appropriate for me to talk about any of the details of any decisions that were made following Mr Kirchner's employment contract that has ended.
