I refer to the Government's media statement titled "Hoops for the future at HBF Stadium as NBA legend visits Perth", and I quote, "NBA legend Carmelo Anthony has been confirmed to attend the inaugural event and will head along to the NBL season opener, while also involving himself in the NBL Next Stars program", and I ask : (a) Can the minister provide the total cost, with a breakdown by line item, of securing the attendance of Carmelo Anthony, as well as any individuals accompanying Mr Anthony, to attend the inaugural 'HoopsFest': (i) return flights; (ii) accommodation; (iii) appearance fees; (iv) media appearance fees; and (v) meal and internal travel allowances, etc?
