Murray-Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification Program

Mr PEDERICK ( Hammond ) ( 15:06 ): My question is for the Minister for Regional Development. When will the Murray Bridge Racing Club receive the $5 million from the Murray-Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification Program for its Gifford Hill project considering that the member for Reynell said in this place, on 13 November 2014—

The SPEAKER: It is just commentary. The minister.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK ( Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (15:07): As the member is aware, and others on the other side there, that was a federal government initiative, an announcement, and that is being discussed between the Premier and the federal government at the moment.

Mr PEDERICK ( Hammond ) ( 15:07 ): Supplementary: when will the government sign off on the 21 projects nominated for the Murray-Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification Program so that the $25 million allocated to South Australia can flow to these projects? It's your problem—your problem.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS ( West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:08): When negotiations are complete with the commonwealth we'll have an answer for the house.

The SPEAKER: Splendid.
