The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:58): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Treasurer regarding major events.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON: In September this year, The Advertiser reported a senior government official saying:

…our many suppliers and stakeholders who will soon start making huge investments into the event, both time and money, and we want the best result for them as well as our loyal fans.

My question to the Treasurer is: when a senior government official referred to a 'huge investment' by private companies, how much investment exactly were they referring to and how many jobs have now been lost as a result of that investment not occurring?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:59): I don't think I'm going to be able to assist the member. I'm not sure who this unnamed senior government official quoted in the media is. Until someone can identify him or her, I'm not in the position to be able to ask—

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: So now we have to identify them? Now you're asking us to identify them.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke!

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: —him or her what he or she meant by the claimed comments reported in the media.
