That
is actually an entirely different question, so the member has two bites of the
cherry on that one.
The
member was present at the estimates hearings and is very aware that there was a
significant amount of information put through this year's state budget
in relation to ongoing costs —
Mr D.J. Kelly interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for Bassendean, I call you to order for the first time.
Ms M.J. DAVIES : It is an entirely different question, Mr Speaker, but I am prepared to
answer it because we have provided a significant amount of information in
relation to this as a result of the fact that we have formed a public–private
partnership and we are reporting under the national guidelines. There was
information in the budget; there was a fact sheet provided in the budget and
the member was present during the estimates hearings and had the opportunity to
ask these questions. It was the same during the Treasurer's estimates
hearings. There is more than enough information out there to demonstrate
exactly what this stadium will cost. We have been very clear about the cost of
the stadium to the taxpayer.
