Manufacturing Works

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:50): I would certainly agree with that but given the government announced a 10-year Manufacturing Works program, and it stops funding just over halfway through, this is not actually some new program; this is an announced 10-year program which for some reason is defunded in 2018-19 onwards.

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) (14:51): I am very happy to reveal to the shadow treasurer what programs are in this budget, and then in future budgets, but like everyone else, and like I am sure he would be very understanding of, he will just have to wait and see.
