Mr HENDERSON - 2006-02-22
Mr HENDERSON (Leader of Government Business) (by leave): Madam Speaker, I have a response to a question asked by the member for Braitling earlier in Question Time regarding work done at Alice Springs.
In Question Time this afternoon, the member for Braitling directed a question to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport concerning the contracts awarded to Siemens Limited valued at $625 862 for work in Alice Springs. The member for Braitling asked why the contracts went to an interstate company. The answer is the contractors for the 20 000 hour service on set nine of the Rod Goodin Power Station in Alice Springs, Siemens, is the original equipment manufacturer and the only company in the world capable of carrying out this service. Power and Water has had previous dealings with Siemens Limited, the Swedish manufacturer of the GT35C gas turbine, and has always received excellent service at competitive costs.
That is the answer to the member for Braitling’s question.
