I refer the minister to his answer about a meeting between Graham Richardson, representing Mr Kerry Packer, and the Premier.  In view of the fact that the conversation was about ownership of Burswood Resort Casino, was the minister invited to attend the meeting between the Premier and Mr Richardson; and, if he was not invited, does he know why not? Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS

AnswerView source ↗

The Premier advised me that Mr Richardson saw him.  The Premier advised me that Mr Richardson raised the issue of Burswood Resort Casino and that Mr Richardson was informed that I was the responsible minister, and that if people have submissions to make on Burswood Resort Casino, they should make those submissions to me.
