Member for Perth, we have allocated, as the member knows from when he went there with the Premier, $5 million for the Goldfields earthquake fund. We have spent $61 529 on emergency grants so far. We have spent $505 329 on the earthquake restoration fund so far. The conservation improvement grants — Mr J.N. Hyde : Add them up! The SPEAKER : Member for Perth! Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : We have $1.261 million that we have allocated. We have allocated $25 000 to the preferred works grant. A number of owners, I think about 16, if I remember correctly, are still awaiting the outcome of their insurance claims to work out what the gaps are from those insurance claims.
