00:00Live Golf has brought some of the sport's biggest names to Adelaide, but the opposition
00:07says it's not just golfing stars who've benefited from the event.
00:11We have a list of some of the most wealthiest people in Australia who have been invited
00:16to Live Golf on the taxpayer tab for a free lunch.
00:21FOI documents obtained by the opposition show the government invited more than 100 people
00:26to a corporate suite at this year's tournament.
00:29Invitees included media and sports personalities Eddie Maguire and former tennis star Leighton
00:34Hewitt, the leaders of the big banks from the Commonwealth to the NAB and Bendigo Bank,
00:40the CEOs of the major airlines Qantas and Virgin and other major business leaders including
00:45Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher.
00:47We really need to wonder, does that pass the pub test and what type of return on investment
00:52are South Australians getting for this free lunch and a bit of a boys club?
00:57This is a cohort of people who are always looking for opportunities to invest their capital.
01:03We've used Live Golf to prosecute that opportunity and we make no apologies for doing so.
01:08The government received the corporate suite tickets as part of a contract to stage Live
01:12Golf in Adelaide.
01:14Taxpayers haven't been told how much that contract cost.
01:17It's public money. If they're going to spend it, they better put forward how much they're
01:22spending, why they're spending it and who's being invited. You shouldn't have to rely upon
01:27freedom of information.
01:27We use taxpayers' funds to attract these events to our state to deliver that economic benefit
01:33and we've also been very upfront about making sure that we are positioning our state as a place
01:40that welcomes investment.
01:40While the opposition's criticised the guest list for Live Golf, Ben Hood says he has no
01:46concerns with the people invited to attend last year's Adelaide 500 government suite.
01:51We've seen hard working South Australians rewarded for their effort.
01:55Invitees included business owners, CFS volunteers and politicians from both the major parties.
02:01employees and candidates for social media.
02:02They still have two parties.
02:03They constantly have a great effort.
02:04They definitely have an opportunity to find out when they are ready for their wedding
02:05parties.
02:06In an instance, the fans are covered in the activities.
