Regional Tourism

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:26): Further supplementary: has the minister informed the regional tourism organisations that these programs either will continue or will not continue?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:26): Both programs are continuing. I know what the opposition did: they quickly emailed a response around to the tourism organisations before I corrected the record. I suspect they didn't actually forward the correction. They are just trying to play little games. We know how the games they play go. The programs are not being cut, so the regional organisations can be guaranteed that they will be getting the money this year.
