Tonsley Innovation District

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:24): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation a series of questions about the Tonsley innovation district.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: Between 4 and 8 October, the Tonsley innovation district was home to the first Hybrid World Adelaide technology festival. The key feature of the five-day event was the two-day Hybrid World Adelaide conference. My questions to the minister are:

1. How much funding did the state government provide towards the Hybrid World Adelaide conference?

2. Can the minister provide a breakdown of the amount spent on the delivery, preparation, promotion and advertising of the conference?

3. How many tickets to the conference were actually sold?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:25): I thank the honourable member for his good and very genuine questions. Although as Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, I do have responsibilities in relation to the Tonsley innovation precinct, not all events that are run at Tonsley come under my portfolio. Certainly, Hybrid World wasn't one that was run out of my portfolio areas, but I will ask the minister responsible. I think it might be Major Events, but I will find out who is the minister responsible and I will endeavour to bring back an answer either before we rise or this year about those questions.
