00:00The Qantas CEO jetting in to announce Adelaide as the site of the airline's new product innovation centre, the first facility of its kind in Australia outside of Sydney.
00:21We want this to be wildly successful and we want to see this grow here in Adelaide but also as a capability.
00:28SA was selected after a deal was struck between Qantas and the state government.
00:33The Premier tight-lipped on how much taxpayer money is on the table but says it won't be handed over until the airline delivers.
00:41It is only able to be realised by Qantas in the event they meet key benchmarks including the employment of a lot of people here in our state.
00:50As Qantas flies in there are concerns that a major South Australian project could be lost interstate.
00:56Melbourne's Peter McCallum Cancer Centre proposing to buy and operate a proton therapy unit raising more questions over troubled plans for an Adelaide facility.
01:07The Federal Health Minister says Australia only needs one.
01:11He'll work with SA to resurrect the proposal but won't rule out going elsewhere.
01:16This is not going to be a South Australian service or a Victorian service, this is going to be a national service.
01:22We still retain the aspiration and the hope that we can bring this opportunity to life and the work continues.
01:28Funding for the Proton Therapy Unit was first announced more than eight years ago.
01:33We're ready to go, so 2020 we can do it by.
