Low Emission Vehicle Strategy

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): I have a supplementary question: how many jobs have been created in South Australia as a result of the $2 million grant?

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) (14:25): I thank the honourable member. On the back of that $2 million grant, with the 50 buses that have been contracted to be built in Adelaide—I will go back and get an exact answer—initially it was 30 jobs, but I think it's more than that and I will find out the exact number of additional jobs created in South Australia that have come about as a result of the initial $2 million grant.
