The South Australian premier has attacked “establishment monopolist forces” in golf as he defended his state’s willingness to host the controversial Saudi-backedLIV Golf tournament.
Peter Malinauskas said it was an “unparalleled” opportunity for the state, but the former senator Rex Patrick, a critic of the Saudi regime, said taxpayers’ money should not be used to “assist foreign leaders wash away unconscionable acts such as the murdering of a journalist for doing his job”, referring to the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.
