Ministerial Statement

BUS CONTRACTS

The Hon. C.C. FOX (Bright—Minister for Transport Services, Minister Assisting the Minister for the Arts) (15:47): I seek leave to make a brief ministerial statement.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.C. FOX: During question time the member for Bragg asked me a question asking, 'Will any of the $2 million announced by you' (that is, me) 'last week for the Adelaide bus services go to the private operator Transfield?' I responded to her that the $2 million was, as the member knew, a payment which was made to Torrens. I then said if there was any different detail in that I would bring the detail back to the house this very day. I was 100 per cent right and I stand by the initial answer to the question. I would just like to clarify that. There was nothing more to say.
