With respect to the 2008-09 budget papers—Program 2, transport infrastructure services, why is there a $24.199 million increase to 'depreciation and amortisation' for this program? The Hon. P.F. CONLON House of Assembly Elder Minister for Transport Minister for Infrastructure Minister for Energy TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information: I refer to page 6.27 of the 2008-09 Portfolio Statement Budget Paper 4 volume 2 showing a 2008-09 original budget of $169.103 million and a 2007-08 original budget of $144.904 million for depreciation and amortisation. The 2008-09 depreciation and amortisation budget varies significantly to the 2007-08 budget due to an increased capital program in 2008-09 and the inclusion of rail assets transferred from TransAdelaide in 2007-08.
