Mr Andren asked the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 24 June 2002:

(1) Did he (a) offer a guarantee to the National Party candidate for Calare in the November 2001 election that a re-elected Coalition Government would provide $10 million in funding for the upgrade of the Mount Panorama racing circuit and (b) subsequently qualify that guarantee that funding was never conditional on having a Government member.

(2) If so, does his offer of a guarantee mean he views Bathurst City Councils submission for the much needed upgrade of Mount Panorama as economically sound and will benefit the Central West, and is therefore deserving of the Governments support; if not why not.


Mr Anderson (Minister for Transport and Regional Services) —The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

I did not offer a guarantee to provide funding for the upgrade of the Mount Panorama racing circuit.
