Cycling Events

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): I refer to the member's original answer where in his answer he referred to the Victorian government trying to steal events from South Australia. Is the minister concerned that, if he doesn't act upon the suggestions of the member for Mawson for extra cycling events, Victoria may steal these events from under his nose?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:29): No. I thank the honourable member for his fishing question. What they have to understand is the Tour Down Under is actually owned by the South Australian government. I will just remind members opposite it was an initiative of the former Olsen government. I have met with people from Cycling Australia, some of the most aggressive people in trying to secure other events.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Leader of the Opposition, please! It's your own question. I can't even hear the answer to your own question.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: The way the former government operated was to be at war with everybody.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, I can't hear you because the Hon. Mr Stephens is now shouting. The Hon. Ms Bourke.
