PERTH
INTERNATIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
967. Mr P. PAPALIA to the
Acting Minister for Tourism:
I have a supplementary question. Can the acting minister
guarantee that the Perth International golf event will go ahead next year?

AnswerView source ↗

I can guarantee, in the reasonably short remaining time in
which I have responsibility for this portfolio, that a very careful assessment
will be made to ensure that taxpayers' funds are used wisely and
appropriately and to ensure that Western Australia has a range of international
events that will help to promote the state and to attract visitors to the
state, such as is happening this weekend with the Margaret River Gourmet
Escape. I am sure the member for Dawesville would prefer to be speaking about
that event at some length, as he has certainly had a strong interest in
establishing it, and from all accounts and from my observations it will be an
outstanding success.
