The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:13): Supplementary arising from the original answer: can the minister confirm, as was outlined previously to a parliamentary committee, that despite the impression that's been given that this isn't new money being injected into the system but is merely cash up-front rather than over a number of years and in fact represents a cut as Treasury is taking into account assumed interest over that time?

The PRESIDENT: That was more like a separate question. It was more like a separate question. The minister can provide a brief answer if she wishes, then I want to move on to the crossbench, please.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:14): I haven't made any pretensions about the fact that we received a great big lump of money from Treasury that we have been able to use very, very smartly.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: If the honourable member wants to put his party's record by our party's record, bring it on. Bring it on any day of the week—any day of the week. Seven-and-a-half thousand properties sold, one billion dollars. Tom Koutsantonis's vanity projects; a $290 million tram to—I am sorry, Mr President. I will finish.
