Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Economic and Business Growth Fund Economic and Business Growth Fund The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Economic and Business Growth Fund The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:35): So what criteria will the government be using to determine whether to look sector-wide or to individually pick winners for individual companies, as they've done in this case? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Economic and Business Growth Fund The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:35): The honourable member obviously hasn't been in government. I made the comment that it will be a sector-wide approach, but the government always will reserve its right, from a cabinet point of view—the cabinet determines that—to support a company. Clearly members opposite were, if you like, in control when Mitsubishi left and when Holden left, and obviously they are a bit annoyed that Mitsubishi have decided to stay in South Australia. They were happy to see them go. We have made a decision to invest $2 million. We think it's a wise investment. Mitsubishi are committed to a long-term future in Australia, and, as I said on Tuesday, it's not only automotive manufacturing. Obviously their automotive headquarters are here, but they are a massive global company. It's great to have their commitment to stay in South Australia. That will be a cabinet decision, and I'm not going to divulge the discussions that happen in cabinet.
