On indulgence. On 26 November 2009 Appropriation Bill (No. 4) 2009-2010 was introduced into the House. The second reading of the bill stated:

… $114.9 million has been reclassified from administered expenses in Appropriation Act (No. 1) to make payments direct to local government for the East Kimberley Development Package.

I wish to advise the House that the amount specified for the East Kimberley Development Package in the second reading speech was incorrect and that the appropriation proposed to make payments direct to local governments for this package is in fact $14.9 million.
