Women's World Cup

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:39): Will the Treasurer be able to find $3 million to enable the West Adelaide Hellas Soccer Club to complete its stadium at Kilburn in time for the Women's World Cup?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:39): I don't want to destroy the wonderful feeling that we have at the moment in talking about the world game to talk about one of the disasters of the former government and the role of the former Treasurer, the member for West Torrens, in that particular grant, the amount of money that was involved in that particular grant and the disaster of that particular project.

I would love to spend some time at a later stage—maybe when we come back in May—if the honourable member wants to ask me a Dorothy Dixer. I will be prepared to unload on the former Treasurer, the member for West Torrens, in much greater detail. I am in such a good mood at the moment that I just don't want to destroy it by thinking about the former Treasurer, the member for West Torrens. When I am in a grumpy mood in the first week of May, ask me the question again and I will unload on him unequivocally.
