Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask the minister again: are the funding ratios in South Australia much lower than in other states? If the government is committed to economically productive infrastructure, why has the government slashed support for the Torrens-to-Torrens project, which, based on the nationally accepted benefit-cost benchmark, shows the benefit-cost ratio of 2.4 to one, compared to the Darlington project, which currently has a benefit-cost ratio of 0.66 to one?
