Industry Development

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:57): Supplementary, to the Treasurer: when my office telephoned your office last week to inquire as to the names of the persons on the investment and promotions advisory board and was advised that only the chairman, Mr Rob Chapman, had been appointed and the others are yet to be appointed, were you aware that this was an error on the website?

The Hon. M.L.J. HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Minister for Investment and Trade, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:58): I'll answer that, Mr Speaker, because I'm the minister responsible. No matter how hard she tries the deputy leader has just demonstrated to her colleagues opposite that she doesn't check her facts. I'm the minister for the Investment Attraction Agency; perhaps she'd like to call me

I'd be delighted to provide a briefing. If she would like to do that, do her research, do her homework before coming in here, she might ask accurate questions and get the right replies. So, if she would like to show me her little bit of paper, I'd be delighted to sort it out for her. In the meantime, the government will have more to say about the Investment Attraction Agency board very shortly.
