AnswerView source ↗
One thing that I did not say in answer to the previous question was that total international visitor spending - that is, the money that comes into our economy - has increased. The member has chosen not to use that figure. The actual spending has gone up by 6.6 per cent. Ms K. Hodson-Thomas : How many visitors? The SPEAKER : Member for Carine! Ms S.M. McHALE : In regard to the world flying disc competition, we have already 2 000 - Several members interjected. Ms S.M. McHALE : Members opposite may be deriding this, but the 2 000-plus visitors who are coming to Western Australia will not do so. Currently 99 teams and nearly 2 000 competitors have booked to participate, and at this stage over 1 300 of those have booked accommodation. This is a huge event, far bigger than Rally Australia and other events in terms of return on investment. This is a superb event for Western Australia. Members opposite should stop deriding it and accept that this is a significant investment. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! I call the member for Cottesloe to order. Ms S.M. McHALE : I want to tell members the economic return on the world ultimate club championship. Members opposite deride good things that are happening in Western Australia. They knocked Red Bull; they are knocking this one. The economic return on this one is 13 to 1.
