The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): Were the members of the Liberal Party caucus briefed on this before the announcement, as members of the Liberal Party caucus were briefed before the announcement of stage 2 of the mobile federal government's Black Spot funding program?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:45): Firstly, I will respond to the member opposite that we don't have a caucus: we have a party room. My recollection is that I became aware about a week prior to the first one going live in Hahndorf that this was an initiative of SATC and Telstra. I think it is a wonderful partnership that will now deliver connectivity to 62 sites across South Australia and allow our great number of increasing international travellers to share their wonderful experiences with their family, friends and the rest of the world via social media.
