AnswerView source ↗
Thank goodness this man has no role in running the finances of Western Australia. What a joke! Does he not understand that Deutsche Bank was the lead financial manager throughout the process? It has done a superb job. It has worked with the Government, the sales group and the brokers. As I said, the total cost of the sale process is about $35m - Mr Ripper: Did you say $35m? Mr BARNETT Yes. The member should not get too excited about that because it includes the cost of all the professional services. Mr Ripper: That is $15m more than you said before. Mr BARNETT: It also includes the refinancing of $450m of debt and the buy-out of a gas contract to maximise value. As I indicated in my statement, I will make a detailed explanation to this Parliament by the end of November. Mr Ripper: So you should. Mr BARNETT: The member is not bothering to listen. Had he listened instead of getting so excited, he would have heard that - Mr Ripper interjected. Mr BARNETT: The member should listen before he makes another public mistake. The $35m - Dr Gallop interjected. Mr BARNETT: Go away! Go and grizzle somewhere else! What a miserable, negative bunch we have opposite. They hate to see people succeeding. I do not want the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to make a mistake because he is a good bloke. Mr Ripper: That is the kiss of death! Mr BARNETT: The $35m includes not only all the professional services, which will be detailed, but also the refinancing of $450m of debt and the buy-out of the gas contract to maximise the value of the sale. Deutsche Bank and others have provided excellent advice throughout the process. It is true that some of the final calls were matters of judgment based on professional advice. However, I will account for every aspect of this privatisation process. Ms Anwyl: When? Mr BARNETT: Members opposite should concentrate. If they did, they would have heard me say that I will provide a full report to this Parliament in November. The SPEAKER: Some members might not have been here last week when I made a statement. Because of the change of focus during question time, I have adjusted the rules. The rules allow me to ensure that the Government is subjected to proper scrutiny. In view of the fact that the Opposition does not have the opportunity to respond because question time is not a debate, I am allowing a level of interjection from the leadership, which includes the spokesperson in the relevant area. However, that does not include members interjecting all at the one time. It also does not include government backbenchers interjecting; in fact, their opportunity to contribute will be extremely limited. I draw that to the attention of the member for Wanneroo and the member for Joondalup in particular.

Mr BARNETT: The $35m includes not only all the professional services, which will be detailed, but also the refinancing of $450m of debt and the buy-out of the gas contract to maximise the value of the sale. Deutsche Bank and others have provided excellent advice throughout the process. It is true that some of the final calls were matters of judgment based on professional advice. However, I will account for every aspect of this privatisation process. Ms Anwyl: When? Mr BARNETT: Members opposite should concentrate. If they did, they would have heard me say that I will provide a full report to this Parliament in November. The SPEAKER: Some members might not have been here last week when I made a statement. Because of the change of focus during question time, I have adjusted the rules. The rules allow me to ensure that the Government is subjected to proper scrutiny. In view of the fact that the Opposition does not have the opportunity to respond because question time is not a debate, I am allowing a level of interjection from the leadership, which includes the spokesperson in the relevant area. However, that does not include members interjecting all at the one time. It also does not include government backbenchers interjecting; in fact, their opportunity to contribute will be extremely limited. I draw that to the attention of the member for Wanneroo and the member for Joondalup in particular.
Thank goodness this man has no role in running the finances of Western Australia. What a joke! Does he not understand that Deutsche Bank was the lead financial manager throughout the process? It has done a superb job. It has worked with the Government, the sales group and the brokers. As I said, the total cost of the sale process is about $35m - Mr Ripper: Did you say $35m? Mr BARNETT Yes. The member should not get too excited about that because it includes the cost of all the professional services. Mr Ripper: That is $15m more than you said before. Mr BARNETT: It also includes the refinancing of $450m of debt and the buy-out of a gas contract to maximise value. As I indicated in my statement, I will make a detailed explanation to this Parliament by the end of November. Mr Ripper: So you should. Mr BARNETT: The member is not bothering to listen. Had he listened instead of getting so excited, he would have heard that - Mr Ripper interjected. Mr BARNETT: The member should listen before he makes another public mistake. The $35m - Dr Gallop interjected. Mr BARNETT: Go away! Go and grizzle somewhere else! What a miserable, negative bunch we have opposite. They hate to see people succeeding. I do not want the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to make a mistake because he is a good bloke. Mr Ripper: That is the kiss of death!
