Regional Employment

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): Supplementary: is the minister satisfied with the level of funding—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer can depart, under the standing order, for 15 minutes, it being his first departure under this standing order.

The honourable member for West Torrens having withdrawn from the chamber:

Mr MARSHALL: Thank you, sir. My question is to the Minister for Regional Development. Is the minister satisfied that the $5,000 per job lost in Whyalla and Port Augusta is sufficient compared to the $37,500 allocated to each anticipated job lost in northern Adelaide?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (15:09): I think I have answered that question before. However, can I reiterate that round 1 of my Regional Development Fund produced over 653 projected jobs and attracted $334 million worth of private equity from the regions into regional South Australia. Round 2 projected 505 jobs and in excess of $200 million worth of private equity—

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Chaffey can depart under the sessional orders for the remainder of question time.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK: I ask the Leader of the Opposition to work with us to ensure that we get the responsibility and some input from the federal government.

Mr MARSHALL: Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: Can we just wait until the member for Chaffey departs.

The honourable member for Chaffey having withdrawn from the chamber:
