The external financing of the project will ensure a Government contribution of $12.3m when the project is completed with all other costs covered by the financing package.
Mr Kaine asked the Chief Minister, on 4 May 1999:
In relation to the operations of Fujitsu in the Territory and the assistance provided to them by the ACT Government:
1. Can the Chief Minister tell the Assembly what was the total value of the tax payer funded incentives that went to Fujitsu including both cash contributions and foregone revenue to the Territory?
2. Can the Chief Minister, tell the Assembly how many of those 900 jobs have in fact materialised? It is now a year and a half later. There must be a significant number of them in place presumably?
Ms Carnell - The answer to the Member's question is as follows:
1 . As stated previously the majority of the assistance provided to Fujitsu has been by way of accommodation and payroll tax relief.
