The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:56): A supplementary: the increase of 20 jobs for the investment of $2 million, over what period of time must that be achieved?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:56): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. It will be over a number of years. The $2 million is not paid all in one lump sum, so the actual money is paid over a number of years. I don't have those figures in front of me at the moment and the jobs will flow once the facility has been built and they are in it. The construction time, I assume, will be 18 months or so. Most of these big buildings take between 18 months and two years to build, so I would assume it would be some time after that that we will see those extra jobs.
