          <by role="member" id="4842">The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:53):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries. Can the minister advise the house how many of the 30 qualifying applications for the Regional Growth Fund round 2 were unsuccessful from the member for MacKillop's electorate?</text>

          <by role="member" id="5380">The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development) (14:54):</by>  I thank the member for Lee for his question. Again, I want very much to point out that getting this money out onto the ground, getting these jobs out into the regional areas and regional electorates, is very important. Unfortunately for the Labor Party, it has very few regional electorates, but we very much see the support right across South Australia. There is no favouritism along where it goes. It is very much—</text>

It is about getting long-term investment out in those regions. It is so important that we continue to support our regions.</text>
