Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Given that in the next financial year there will only be 10 per cent contestability, can the Premier outline to us what the level of contestability will be in the subsequent 2016-17 year?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:25): Mr Speaker, I understand that it is projected that, over the course of the forward estimates, the current allocation of new non-TAFE funding will increase from this financial year of $14 million to $34 million in the last year of the forward estimates. Obviously there is a committed sum which this financial year is $32 million, so that is the existing pipeline of work to which the new funding is $14 million that rises to $34 million over the forward estimates.
