REGIONAL AIRFARE FUND
97. Mr I.C. BLAYNEY to the Minister for Transport:
Mr I.C. BLAYNEY : Mr Speaker,
I have a supplementary question.
The SPEAKER : A
supplementary, if you can shout over your team there, member for Geraldton.
Mr I.C. BLAYNEY : Thank you,
Mr Speaker. I will try.
Surely the government has done an
analysis to determine the areas most in need of assistance and it is working
with the airlines. Why will the government not reveal its priority areas for
allocating the $8 million?
