Brabham Supercar

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:17): Supplementary arising from the answer: is this support for the Brabham project one of the areas that the Treasurer has asked to be put on hold if it hasn't been fully paid to the company?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17): No, the incoming government's position, which I have enunciated on a number of occasions, is that where the former government had already made or already signed firm contracts or had made firm letters of offer to companies, that the incoming Marshall Liberal government would not be reversing those particular decisions. Whether or not we actually agree with the individual decisions or not, they were commitments that the former government had either signed or had had firm letters of offer in relation to.

My understanding in relation to this particular one is that it is longstanding and it is in one of those two categories: there is either a contract that had been signed by the former government with the company or its principals or there had been a firm letter of offer. So the simple answer to the question is no.
