When the Government went to tender, it was going to provide a total of $110m plus land for this centre. What was negotiated was that none of the land would be provided on a freehold basis and that all of the facility would come back to the taxpayers. I will ask the minister responsible who suggested what arrangement was to be finalised and provide that information to the member.
