Victorian Government reconfirms taxpayers are not footing Australian Open quarantine bill
By Joseph Dunstan
On January 12, Ms Neville said "all the quarantine program is fully funded by Tennis Australia", when asked who was footing the bill to bring in the Australian Open competitors.
Earlier today, Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley suggested to Melbourne radio station 3AW that the Victorian Government was providing support as well.
When asked again who was footing the bill, Ms Neville said she wanted to be clear.
"It is fully funded by Tennis Australia," she said.
"Hotel quarantine for the Australian Open is fully funded by Tennis Australia. I've triple-confirmed that again today [after seeing that information], it is fully funded by the Australian Open."
She said while the Government supported the Australian Open "as an event" as it does with all big events, the additional cost of the quarantine arrangements were being funded by Tennis Australia.
"The taxpayer is not contributing to the [Australian Open] hotel quarantine program."
