MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:48):</by>  Further supplementary arising from the original answer: is there any part of the funds that are paid, or goods or services that are given to the company the minister mentioned in his answer, that are repayable if they do not meet job targets, or is there no job target whatsoever in the one that he referred to?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:48):</by>  As I said in my answer to the Hon. John Dawkins' question, businesses can access up to $80,000 to reimburse working space costs and professional services costs. It is to reimburse it. They apply for the money. We are very confident that once we have these people here they are going to meet their jobs targets. Initially, they are very modest jobs targets. This is about getting international companies here, showing them how good our community is, our opportunities for doing business, the lifestyle that we enjoy, the fact that we have had wonderful management of COVID-19 by our health professionals and the minister, and that we are well positioned to be a place where people can expand their businesses.</text>
