I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Minister for Science and Innovation has advised that this was never endorsed as Liberal Party policy. (2) In 2009–10, the following support was provided for the Western Australian information and communications technology industry: $1.94 million, Interactive Virtual Environments Centre, iVEC; $12 000, ACS Western Australia Foundation ICT scholarships; $5 000, sponsorship, WA Information Technology and Telecommunications Awards; and $7 500, Australian Telecommunications Users Group Regional Roadshow. In addition, a component of the following grants has been allocated to ICT: $10 000, Centre for Microphotonic Systems; $475 475, Data Linkage Australia; $98 800, CRC spatial information; and $455 693, e-Med, International Centre for Mobile Health Care Solutions. The following support has been allocated in the 2010–11 budget: $3 626 million iVEC; $12 000, ACS Western Australia Foundation ICT scholarships; and $5 000, sponsorship, WA Information Technology and Telecommunications Awards. Similarly, a component of the following grants is also allocated to ICT: $10 000, Data Linkage Australia; $101 400, CRC spatial information; $455 693, e-Med, International Centre for Mobile Health Care Solutions. This reflects government spend on ICT industry development activities for the portfolio only and does not include whole-of-state-government expenditure on ICT infrastructure and services. Further, there is the $120 million that this government has allocated to critical communications infrastructure for regional emergency communications and addressing regional mobile phone black spots.
