PROPOSED SOCCER AND RUGBY STADIUM
Will the minister confirm whether the street talk circulating around town is true or false? Several members interjected. Mr MARSHALL: Did the minister meet with Glory Chairman Nick Tana before he presented his proposition about Leederville Oval and did he meet with representatives of the Town of Vincent? Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: The member for Dawesville has been here long enough to know that supplementary questions are to be precise and that there should be one question only. Perhaps he could come to the actual question. Mr MARSHALL: Did the member have meetings with Perth Glory’s chairman and the Town of Vincent before they put the proposition of Leederville Oval to the board? Mr CARPENTER

AnswerView source ↗
I am tempted to withdraw the compliment I made about this member’s accumulated wisdom. I am open about this. I do not know whether it was before Mr Tana had put his proposition or not, but I attended the Perth Glory game at the invitation of Perth Glory and listened to Mr Tana address the members or the fans or whatever they were at the pre-match function about his aspirations for the club. He reflected upon the issue that the member is speaking about. He and I did not have a meeting. That was the only time I have met him. We were at the table together at the pre-match function and we watched the game together. Unfortunately, I think Perth Glory lost that game. Prior to that I had met with representatives of the Town of Vincent and they referred to the issues raised by the member. I responded to them in basically the same way that I am responding to the member opposite: that this Government is involved in a contractual arrangement with Multiplex and it would be very unwise of me to speculate about what might happen - Mr Omodei: That is not what somebody else said. Mr CARPENTER: Who would that have been? We have made it easy for this member who was the numbers man for the now Leader of the Opposition. He can do the numbers now by taking only one shoe off; he found it more difficult in the old Parliament! I gave no indication that we would be pursuing that issue.
