Landing Pad Program

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): Supplementary arising from the answer: in relation to the Landing Pad program, is there a job target for the contract that was recently signed with CVX Semiconductor and was there discussion around 50 jobs that wasn't signed, and can the minister confirm whether in fact with this contract there is actually any job target at all?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:47): The negotiations with those companies are confidential. We try to make sure we maximise the number of jobs that can be created. Often, they start off as small investments and relatively small numbers of people, with opportunities to grow. Of course, as I mentioned, in this particular case Dr Meller hopes to grow it to 100 people in the next two to three years. This is an initial Landing Pad opportunity: get the companies here, get them established, get them to learn how wonderful South Australia is, so that our economy can come back stronger than before.
