AnswerView source ↗
The police commissioner is not in the dark. This project will need additional funding because the estimate of cost has gone up $12 million, as part of the budgetary process. Full details will be included in the budget. That will show— Ms M.M. Quirk interjected. Mr C.J. BARNETT : Yes, the project had its origins during Labor’s time in government, but it was all announcement and no project. This government is actually about the project, which will be detailed in the budget. Indeed, preliminary planning and work is virtually underway.
