House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time South Road Upgrades SOUTH ROAD UPGRADES The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly Davenport SOUTH ROAD UPGRADES The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:39): Following the Premier's comments about the billion-dollar upgrade of that section of South Road on which the federal government has made an announcement today, can the Treasurer or Premier confirm that there is a GST clawback as a result of that announcement? Can he advise me the level of the clawback and confirm that that clawback will yield into the forward estimates of the budget? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts SOUTH ROAD UPGRADES The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:40): I thank the honourable member for his question. The advice that we have is that we have received a level of road infrastructure funding which is consistent with our national population share and, therefore, there is no negative GST effect. This is something that would have an effect on the state only if we received above our national entitlement, and our advice is that that is not the case.
