MANUFACTURING, INNOVATION, TRADE, RESOURCES AND ENERGY DEPARTMENT

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade. Will the minister advise the house why his department failed to pay over 10 per cent of accounts by the agreed due date, which represents a 50 per cent deterioration on his department's payment performance in the previous year?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:44): I will first of all undertake to the member to find out exactly what the accurate figure is and get back to the house with an answer.
