WESTERN POWER — PRIVATISATION
240. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Leader of the National Party:
I have a supplementary question. I did
not ask the Leader of the National Party whether he was considering it; I asked
him whether he was supporting it. As the Premier has indicated that it is the governmentXXX ###XXXs intention to privatise Western Power,
does the Leader of the National Party support it and has he participated in
cabinet meetings that have decided on this course of action?

AnswerView source ↗

The National Party will participate
in the process of due diligence—absolutely—to consider the
merits of asset sales. We are in that process. That is exactly what we have
said we are going to do, and it is exactly what we will continue doing.
