Leigh Creek

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:05): A supplementary: first, could the minister clarify what proportion of the $18 million is actually going to OCA, and, secondly, could he answer my original question about the level of local OCA staffing in Leigh Creek?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:05): I have the overall figure of about $18 million. Regarding the exact amount being spent in the different areas, I am happy to go away and have a look at that and bring back a response. However, as I outlined, it is intended that the services that have been running will continue to run, so it will be commensurate with what it costs Alinta at the moment to provide the services and of course commensurate also with the number of people there. Of course it will change depending on the population, but I will certainly go away and see if there is more detail on projections over the next few years for the honourable member.
