Personal Explanation

TOURISM COMMISSION

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:15): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I wish to clarify the answer to a supplementary question that was asked by the Hon. David Ridgway. It has been brought to my attention that the SATC was considering ways to assist industry in the digital space, and I have been advised that the industry marketing cooperative fund, which the Hon. David Ridgway inquired about, has been reconfigured to a digital innovative and development fund. Obviously this is an operational decision for the Tourism Commission in an attempt to assist industry in the digital space. So that is what has happened to that fund.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: If I may, I have a supplementary question arising from that answer. Is that in order, Mr President?

The PRESIDENT: It was a personal explanation.
