LIV Golf

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:10): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking questions of the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing on LIV Golf.

Leave granted.

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO: The future location of the LIV Golf tournament is now uncertain, with the current agreement with the Grange Golf Club expiring in 2026 and the club not keen to continue for the 2027 event. The government rushed legislation through parliament to seize control of the Adelaide Parklands for the new North Adelaide Golf Course. The Premier promised that it would cost $45 million, but this will not be ready until 2028 at the earliest. My questions to the minister are:

1. Can the government promise South Australian taxpayers that no additional money is needed to be put on the table for the LIV Golf 2027 event?

2. Can the minister advise the chamber how much taxpayer money has been spent on the event sent since its inception?

3. Has the government put a cap on the budget for the North Adelaide Golf Course project?

4. Are the costs of $45 million, as has been touted by the Premier previously, indicated in Australian dollars or in US dollars?

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:11): I thank the member for her question. As she would be aware, this is an area that falls under the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. I am not surprised that those opposite are talking down an investment in public facilities like the North Adelaide Golf Course. This is a project that is a world-class venue. It is a course that South Australians will be proud of and enjoy at a local level, but some of the greatest in the world will also enjoy this incredible facility.
