Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister of Transport) Link to this
Under Standing Order 349 I seek leave to make a correction to an answer I gave to question No. 6 on Tuesday, 5 May.
Mr SPEAKERIn researching the response to an oral question today, I discovered that I had inadvertently used a wrong figure on Tuesday in question time in response to supplementary questioning referring to the Waterview Connection business case. The correct figure for the project financing costs is $550 million, not the $200 million figure I used on Tuesday. This correction does not change the total cost—as identified in the business case and referred to in Parliament—of $2.77 billion. I apologise to the House for the error.
