PUBLIC BUILDING WORKS

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure. Does the government have a policy of only paying for public building work upon completion of the work?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure) (14:58): Public building works are very different in their size and scale, so I do not believe that there would be a single, one-size-fits-all policy. For example, if you were building a very expensive building I am sure you would probably like some payments along the way. I will get an answer for the member on the methods of payment from the relevant agencies and bring back a detailed answer. However, I do not think we would apply a one-policy-fits-all approach.
