I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

I therefore ask the honourable member to place this aspect of the question on notice. (2) Tourism Western Australia and the Department of Culture and the Arts provided funding. The Premier, in his joint media statement with Hon John Day released 29 June 2016 titled “Australian-first performance at Elizabeth Quay”, states — … the Liberal National Government was proud to support the Arcadia Spectacular shows through Tourism WA, the Department of Culture and the Arts and Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority. (3) Tourism Western Australia has advised there is insufficient time to assess the sponsorship arrangements against its internal policy and guidelines for the release of event sponsorship information that is commercial in nature. I therefore ask the honourable member to place this aspect of the question on notice. (4) The Premier’s and Hon John Day’s joint media statement released 29 June 2016 titled “Australian-first performance at Elizabeth Quay” states — · Headline acts to be announced on July 6 with general public tickets on sale from July 7. Prices start at $99 · Free family and community activities are planned during the daytime
