Thoroughbred Racing SA Appointments

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:58): My question is again to the Minister for Racing. Was the minister warned about the appointment of Mr Dixon by the chair of Thoroughbred Racing's appointment panel, former Liberal senator Amanda Vanstone, prior to his appointment?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:58): Thank you very much. I was recommended three people through the advisory panel to go on the board of the TRSA, and I accepted those endorsements.
