KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:37):</by>  I don't have an estimate. I will check. The budget was $593 million. I will find out how much of that we spent and get back to the member. I also want to point out to the house that there has been a very big event over the summer. The member for Morphett became the first father/daughter pick for Collingwood and everyone in the house congratulates him on seeing his daughter excel his career, and kick more goals, win more premierships and do much better than him.</text>
