PRISONS, NEW

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08): As a supplementary question, is the minister clarifying that she has not been made aware of any concerns about the potential impact of deferral as it relates to most parties that are currently spending their money on putting together a request for proposals in accordance with the publicly announced guidelines?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:08): I can really only reiterate what I have said. These are clearly difficult financial times and, certainly, no country or state is immune from them. I am certain that financiers who work in that market would appreciate that the Treasurer has said that he will be making a statement in due course.
