I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) There is no single official reprint copy of the Alumina Refinery (Wagerup) Agreement and Acts Amendment Act 1978 - Wagerup agreement - that incorporates all the amendments to that agreement since it came into operation. Official copies of the Wagerup agreement and any variation to it, or which relates to it and which has been ratified by Parliament, such as the 1987 variation to the Alumina Refinery Agreement Act 1961, referred to as the principal agreement, are available to the public from the State Law Publisher. Copies of any non-ratified tabled variations to the above two agreements, such as that tabled in 2000, are available to members of Parliament and the public from the Legislative Council or the Legislative Assembly papers office. (2) See answer to question (1).
