CASIS SYSTEM

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion: can the minister confirm that the CASIS project started out in 2009 as a $600,000 proposal to deliver a system by 2010 and that it has blown out to more than $3.7 million and is yet to be fully functional?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:54): I thank the honourable member for his question. I can confirm that the figures provided are correct. I can also confirm to the house that the scope of the project has changed as the number of concessions we try to bring online has changed as well.

This government is trying to support people doing it tough. We have a very broad concession scheme where we have about 200,000 customers on our concession scheme and over $100 million in concessions. We are trying to ensure that we deliver the best possible outcome for taxpayers—both as recipients of the concessions but also as taxpayers—and that will require a good scheme and we will have one.
