AFL GRAND FINAL — OPTUS STADIUM
412. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Sport and
Recreation:
I have a supplementary question. I cannot
agree with the last part of that answer. Given that WA successfully hosted the
recent Dreamtime match very well, is the minister advocating for Perth to host
the entire AFL finals series, potentially?

As the member said, we successfully
managed the Dreamtime game here. The fact that we can have major games here and
we can be in the picture for AFL finals is because of the leadership of this
government in controlling COVID-19. One place where the finals will not be held
is New South Wales. Rather than talking to Clive Palmer, it is about time you got on the phone to the
Premier of New South Wales and told her to come here and look at what we
do in WA!
Several members interjected.
