The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:53): Supplementary: will—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I would like to hear your frontbencher's supplementary.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Will the minister need more than the $4 million that he paid the department from the Economic and Business Growth Fund, or will that $4 million that he paid himself be enough?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:53): It's a bizarre supplementary. It is a $4 million investment: $1 million a year over the next four years. If it's oversubscribed, I am sure I would be able to take a proposal back to the government's group, the Economic and Business Growth Fund, to get extra resources. The $4 million is a commitment to grow the South Australian economy and support business investment here, as outlined in my previous question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Are we calming down, Leader of the Opposition, because I would like to go to the Hon. Mr Pangallo.
