    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Although the distinguished Senator gave this Statement to me at about 2.00 p.m., I have actually managed to read it in detail. I just need one clarification. I want to thank him together with his Committee because the document is fairly detailed. There is only one issue which I would require further clarification on. It appears from the Statement that the main problem – and that is the reason I sought the Statement – was the delay in the connections. It appears that, that delay is caused by the contractors. In the schedules given by the Chairman, it appears that contractors have abandoned at least 90 per cent of the projects. Does the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) pay these people in advance? The problems being experienced by them is that once they go to the project, they are told that its scope has increased. Does that mean that the scope is not given before these contractors are awarded these contracts? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
