GlobeLink

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:59): A supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: A further supplementary? I'm allowing one more.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON: I promise not to make it about my hair. Since becoming minister, what representations has the minister made to Adelaide Airport and the SA Freight Council about GlobeLink, and what representations has he received from them?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:59): I am in constant contact with Adelaide Airport. Since becoming minister, I haven't met with the Freight Council. I haven't had a meeting with them, but I have had a number of informal meetings with members from Adelaide Airport, their board and some of the senior employees there. It is interesting to note that Adelaide Airport did not comment on GlobeLink during the whole debate in the lead-up to the election.

I think Mr Evan Knapp from the Freight Council spoke, but nobody from Adelaide Airport came out and criticised GlobeLink, and, interestingly, nor did Monarto Zoo, which is right next to where the airport is likely to be built. The Monarto Zoo did not make any comment. In fact, they see it as a real positive, because it brings more business activity and more focus on one of our great tourism attractions. But it would be inappropriate for me to now talk about the Monarto Zoo, which I could do at length but I won't do that.
