Ms O\u2019CONNOR question to MINISTER for SPORT and EVENTS, Mr DUIGAN<\/p>\n
It\u2019s our clear understanding that the AFL withheld the news of its decision to walk away from the People First Stadium, fearing the optics ahead of this vote today. You have said that Stadiums Tasmania apparently sought some information from the AFL before providing you with the answer you gave in here yesterday \u2013 the answer that fails the pub test.<\/p>\n
Will you, as minister responsible for sport and events, make some inquiries, for example, with the AFL itself about why it made the decision to walk away from that stadium? It is our understanding that they have walked away from it because the business case did not stack up for it and that\u2019s making a massive loss for them as this stadium will here, for the people of Tasmania.<\/p>\n
ANSWER<\/p>\n
Mr President, as I say, I provided an answer to the member. I don\u2019t have any further advice in front of me\u2011<\/p>\n
Ms O\u2019Connor \u2013 That wasn\u2019t my question; will you get some more information?<\/p>\n
Mr DUIGAN \u2013 And I will let the record speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ms O\u2019CONNOR question to MINISTER for SPORT and EVENTS, Mr DUIGAN It\u2019s our clear understanding that the AFL…\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-329801","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\/329801","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=329801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329801\/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=329801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
