During question time I indicated that the ICT project blew out by $400 million. It was actually a blow-out of $200 million. I also said that the savings for the access card project had increased by $29 million to $1.78 billion when I meant to say $1.178 billion. I might also add to my response regarding the $5 million in call centre funding. The MYEFO statement concerning that funding made no mention whatsoever of Launceston.
