I thank Hon Barbara Scott for some notice of the question. (1)-(4) The Premier has not had negotiations with the owners of Burswood Dome about its closure. The honourable member should direct questions regarding this matter to the appropriate minister. Hon Barbara Scott : This is the fourth minister I have directed these questions to. When am I going to get an answer? Hon KIM CHANCE : One day the member will find the right one! Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! Hon Nigel Hallett wants to ask a question and I want to hear what he has to say.
