AFL Grand Final

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:05): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing about the AFL finals.

Leave granted.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: As we know, the South Australian government made an impassioned bid to host the AFL grand final next month. As far as I am aware, Adelaide remains the fallback venue should Queensland be forced to relinquish the game if there are fresh outbreaks of COVID-19. My question to the minister is: what did the government intend to do if Adelaide hosted, or hosts, the grand final and, God forbid, Port Adelaide didn't make it and two Victorian clubs faced off? Would they have allowed families and fans from Victoria or interstate to attend?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:06): Clearly, that's hypothetical, but in terms of the detailed planning in relation to the bid for the AFL grand final, that was coordinated, as I understand it, out of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. Certainly there was consultation with SA Health, but I was not involved in that.
