OAKAJEE PORT AND RAIL PROJECT — KEY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENTS
I have a supplementary question. Would the Premier favour the house with an actual answer to questions (2) and (3)? I will remind him what they were—the agreed cost of the components of the infrastructure to be jointly funded by the state and commonwealth governments and whether he has had briefings from the proponents or from his office that some of the deliverables he specified that had to be delivered in or by December will or will not be delivered by that deadline. It would be good if the Premier, as he promised, answered those questions. Mr C.J. BARNETT

There is no agreed cost for the common-user infrastructure. They are yet to present their documentation to the government and they will not do that until 30 June. As I said before, the commitment of the state and, if I can speak for it, the commonwealth is to provide approximately $680 million to the common-user infrastructure. We have not changed from that position. That is our commitment. What final cost estimates they come in with, I do not know. I expect to get that information on 30 June.
