Hon Ken Travers : I’m not going to argue with you on that. Hon NORMAN MOORE : The minister has provided the following reply — (1) This inquiry will be held under section 47(4) of the Professional Combat Sports Act 1987, which states — Notwithstanding subsection (3), where in relation to a contest the Commission is of the opinion (whether or not as a result of a report made by the referee of the contest) that the contest is a sham contest the Commission shall inquire into the promotion, arrangement and conduct of the contest. (2) Hon Geoffrey Miller is not conducting the inquiry into the Green–Briggs fight. (3) Verifact has been engaged by the Professional Combat Sports Commission to collect statements and evidence. The Department of Sport and Recreation is providing administrative and clerical support to the inquiry. (4) Information collected for consideration by the Professional Combat Sports Commission will include the betting on the fight. (5) A separate review of the Professional Combat Sports Commission’s permit approval process will be conducted by retired Supreme Court judge Geoffrey Miller, QC.
