The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I am advised the income under sub-program 3.4 comprises:

Sale of energy in remote areas ($4 million);

Fuel tax credits from the Australian Taxation Office associated with diesel fuel purchases for generating electricity in remote areas ($1.8 million);

Licence fees levied by the Essential Services Commission of South Australia against South Australian gas and electricity industries (provided through the Department of Treasury and Finance) ($1.8 million); and

Revenue from Commonwealth rebate programs ($0.3 million).
