Ms O\u2019CONNOR question to MINISTER for SPORT, Mr DUIGAN<\/p>\n
Mr President, with respect, that\u2019s simply not good enough. You made the decision to provide advice to this Council that was provided to you by Stadiums\u00a0Tasmania. That advice, if that\u2019s what it is, kind of fails the pub test because we\u2019re talking about the Brisbane\u00a0Olympics, which are seven years away, and you have apparently been advised by Stadiums\u00a0Tasmania that the AFL was asked by Stadiums\u00a0Queensland to get out of the People\u00a0First\u00a0Stadium.<\/p>\n
This is a question of integrity. Don\u2019t point us to Stadiums\u00a0Queensland. We need to understand from you whether the advice that Stadiums\u00a0Tasmania provided to you is true and honest advice \u2013 and if you believe it is, to stand up there and say that.<\/p>\n
We will make some further inquiries, because it\u2019s important, minister \u2013 I\u2019m sure you agree\u00a0\u2013 that we are are honest in here. So, will you confirm?<\/p>\n
Mr Duigan \u2013 Will I confirm what?<\/p>\n
Ms O\u2019CONNOR \u2013 Will you confirm that Stadiums\u00a0Tasmania\u2019s advice to you is honest and accurate advice? It is different from the information that we have, and this goes to your integrity as a minister.<\/p>\n
Mr Duigan \u2013 No, it doesn\u2019t. What a load of nonsense.<\/p>\n
Ms O\u2019CONNOR \u2013 It does! You can\u2019t get up in here \u2013<\/p>\n
Mr PRESIDENT \u2013 Order.<\/p>\n
ANSWER<\/p>\n
Mr President, I point to the answer I gave yesterday, which was advice provided to me as minister from Stadiums\u00a0Tasmania. My understanding is that they checked it with the AFL as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ms O\u2019CONNOR question to MINISTER for SPORT, Mr DUIGAN Mr President, with respect, that\u2019s simply not good enough.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":328433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85,8824],"class_list":{"0":"post-328432","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-stadium"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
