NIB STADIUM — COMPENSATION PAYMENT
233. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the
Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to the compensation payment struck between the
minister and National Party donor Tony Sage over the $100 million redevelopment
of nib Stadium. Can the minister now confirm, after refusing to do so on
previous occasions, that Treasury in fact advised against any compensation payment
to Sage due to the benefits that the ground improvement would bring?

AnswerView source ↗
I am not aware that Treasury advised against that. At the
time the Department of Sport and Recreation was working on compensation for
Tony Sage, Treasury was involved in a committee, as I understand it, and the
advice came through to me through the Department of Sport and Recreation that
that was the amount, as I have discussed in this place before.
