GlobeLink

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (14:46): Supplementary: does the minister admit to this chamber now that in future anytime he releases a major policy leading to the next election we will all have to read the very fine print at the bottom of the page? Secondly, has the minister advised his Liberal Party colleagues that the GlobeLink policy was only ever to write a report and not to build any road, rail or airports?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:46): I don't know which state the honourable member lives in and which parliament he is a member of. It was very clear at the election that our commitment was to invest up to $20 million in the business case for GlobeLink. We fulfilled that commitment.
