Kangaroo Island Airport

Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (15:31): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Given the Premier's commitment to contribute $9 million as a 50 per cent contribution to upgrade Kangaroo Island airport, why isn't this amount disclosed in the 2015 state budget? If this amount is in the forward estimates, will the minister confirm in what year?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (15:31): I thank the member for Finniss for his question. I can confirm that the government has made a commitment of $9 million on a dollar matching basis, we hope, with the commonwealth government to provide the other $9 million. I understand there is some anecdotal evidence to support that they will be forthcoming with their share of this, and we look forward to that formally being confirmed. As for the detail about its treatment within the budget papers and which financial year that falls, I might pass it off to my colleague the Treasurer, or perhaps come back to you with some advice once I've consulted with the Treasurer.
