SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (15:20): What discussions, if any, has the Treasurer had with the former chief executive of SAJC, Steve Ploubidis, regarding Mr Ploubidis's possible role as manager of a permanent major events facility at Victoria Park?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations) (15:20): The manager of a permanent major facility? Firstly, there isn't one there, and I cannot recall any discussion as such with Mr Ploubidis on that matter at all.

An honourable member: Why would you?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Why would I? If it was a permanent structure, the Motor Sport Board would run it. Do you really think Steve Ploubidis would want a job—is this prior to his dismissal or since?

Mrs Redmond: I am just asking whether there were any discussions.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: I don't think so. My guess is that, if he was the CEO of SAJC, would he really want to manage a building? That does not seem like a big career move to me. I do not know where that has come from and I have no knowledge of that answer, but I will try to rack my brain and think what it could possibly have been referring to.
