PERTH
STADIUM — DESIGN, BUILD, FINANCE AND MAINTAIN CONTRACT
473. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the
Treasurer:
I have a supplementary question. I again ask what is the
monthly service payment that will begin in early 2018?

AnswerView source ↗

That was not disclosed in the budget at this time.
Several members interjected.
Dr M.D. NAHAN : It
is in the budget; it is capitalised in the budget.
Ms R. Saffioti : If it is a monthly payment, then it should be
included in the budget!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Members!
Dr M.D. NAHAN : We
estimated and budgeted for the full payment of that capital payment over the 25
years. The member wants us, of course, to double the payment to grossly
exaggerate the costing of the stadium.
Ms R. Saffioti interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for West Swan.
Dr M.D. NAHAN : It
is fully disclosed in the budget in capitalised value.
