Overland Train Service

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:45): Supplementary arising from the original answer from the minister: she confirms that there will be funding. We just want to know: how much?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:46): If I recall correctly, the commitment was for a million dollars over three years. Of course, that was to reinstate the money that was cut by the former Liberal government, cut by the Marshall Liberal government, cut because they are not interested in providing services such as the Overland train service—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: —in conjunction with the Victorian government, which of course had to step in because of the outrageous decision of the former Marshall Liberal government. The Victorian Labor government stepped in and provided that additional funding.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Minister!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Our government's view is that we should be taking an appropriate share. The Overland travels within South Australia. It shouldn't be just the Victorian government that is contributing to that funding. I look forward to this funding coming forth and us fulfilling our promises, as opposed to those who sit opposite in the previous Liberal government.
