Emergency Services Levy

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:48): My supplementary to the minister is: in the emergency services zone that covers the primary production areas of the state, how much has now been collected from the emergency services levy in that zone, and how much is being spent on emergency services in that zone?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:49): I think the member for Davenport was sent the information in an Economic and Finance Committee report. We are a very transparent government.

Mr Marshall: Very thin; not transparent.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: That's not very nice. I only have the distributions here. I don't know how much we will be raising, but what I will do is get that for the member. The distributions are here. In regional area 4, we are distributing $217.7 million; in regional area 1, $18.5 million; in regional area 2, $10.7 million; in regional area 3, $0.9 million, of which expenditure on emergency services is attributable to the fixed property component of the levy, and the distributions are out there. What I will do is I will get you a much more detailed answer so we know exactly what it is we are raising from those regional areas and so you can see exactly what it is.
