(1) Can the minister inform the House whether the $75 million regional investment fund has been fully allocated? (2) If not, what is the actual amount that has been allocated?

AnswerView source ↗
(1) No, the fund has not been fully allocated. (2) Yes, I can detail for the House the full use of the fund, but not at this particular moment. (3) Members opposite are a funny lot. I put a Bill before the House that was aimed at doing all those things for members opposite, yet they have the gall to ask a question such as this. Hon Bruce Donaldson: Bring the Bill back and we might deal with it. Hon TOM STEPHENS: We do not want members to waste the time of the House by mucking around with government legislation, as it did last night. I will look at the issue and get back to the member.
