Before I give the response as Minister for Racing and Gaming, I put on record how pleased I am to be the Minister for Racing and Gaming and to outline the Carpenter government’s commitment to and fantastic record with the racing industry. Members may be aware that since we took office there has been a significant increase across a whole range of areas to underpin the potential growth of the racing industry. For example, in 2004 we committed $20 million over two years to upgrade racecourse infrastructure in Albany, Bunbury, Geraldton, Northam, Kalgoorlie, Peel, Lark Hill and Pinjarra. That program was increased to $25 million over three years, with a $5 million contribution from Racing and Wagering Western Australia to include all non-metropolitan racing venues. Members may also remember that the Carpenter government slashed TAB wagering tax by $12 million per year with legislation that went through this place only last week. The latest tax cuts are in addition to the $5 million tax cuts that we delivered in 2001. This represents a 30 per cent overall reduction in wagering tax since the Labor government took office. We have a lower tax rate in Western Australia than the other major racing states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. There is a lot of interest in what has happened in Western Australia. We have managed to stimulate the economic activity in this industry. It means that there will be more owners, more jobs and more opportunities for small businesses. By the end of this term, we will have injected over $80 million into the Western Australian racing industry. Members opposite might laugh about it and profess their commitment to the industry but I cannot remember a time in history when their government achieved that. The simple fact is that they talk a lot about it but they have not done what this government has done. I am very proud of Labor’s record in the racing industry. (1)-(2) Yes. I table the schedule. [See paper 2539.] (3) As of 28 February 2007, the amount allocated was $16 846 725. The amount unallocated was $8 153 275. (4) Grants from the unallocated funds will be finalised by 30 June 2008.
