Minister wants to handle it. We are anxious to get this program, so we will follow that process. When the funds are approved, as I trust they will be, we will go through the regular process that we all know so well.
As to the funding of it, we have sought $13.7m from the Commonwealth. That will generate further funds. That will get the program up and moving. There will be further contributions from ACTEW, the Housing Trust and the Department of the Environment, Land and Planning; but the bulk of the money for this project obviously will come, and I should think come very willingly, from the private sector who will want to be involved in the development as it proceeds.
Mr Kaine: Have you asked them? Have you some commitment from the private sector?
MR WOOD: I deal with the private sector and the department deals with the private sector, and they have never been backward in a development proposal. I have never known one where they have not come and said, "Yes, we will work with you". These will be good proposals and I do not have any doubt that the private sector will be out there competing to participate in this project. I think that I should make that quite clear, to remove any confusion about this that arose from a number of media statements.
Ms Follett: Madam Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.

The Audit Act contains a number of provisions which enable appropriations to be varied during the course of the financial year. Subsection 49A(1) of the Act enables appropriations to be increased to onpass Commonwealth specific purpose payments where receipts of such payments exceed the amount expected
