The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Federal/State Relations, Minister for Defence Industries) (14:40): Madam Speaker, I do not know whether it is appropriate to repeat an answer that I gave to this very same question, I think from the very same member some weeks ago, from memory, when we were discussing this in the Auditor-General's Report. Of course it is in the forward estimates. I said that two years ago.
