INFRASTRUCTURE SPEND — JOB CREATION
Some notice of this question has been given. I refer to a recent statement made by the Treasurer that the infrastructure spend will deliver 26 000 direct jobs in the 2009-10 financial year. (1) Why was the modelling that indicated that this infrastructure spend would support these jobs not included in the budget papers? (2) What is the breakdown of the jobs that have allegedly been created? (3) Will the Treasurer release the modelling that supports the claim? Hon NORMAN MOORE
