Landing Pad Program

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): Further supplementary arising from the original answer. I guess I will put it more simply: are there any provisions for clawing back some of these reimbursements that are paid if even very modest job targets are not met, or is there no requirement for employment in South Australia as a result of these reimbursement grants?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:49): As I explained, it is a reimbursement, and once the company has spent the money we reimburse them. We are confident they will meet the job targets, and in most cases they are very modest job targets and in fact the people are there doing the job when the reimbursements are paid.
