I have a supplementary question. Will the minister now immediately commit to provide the $14 million to Rottnest Island that the Labor Party promised at the time of the last election, and thereby avoid the 30 per cent increase in holiday accommodation prices for Western Australian families? Mr C.M. BROWN

The commitment made at the last election related to commitments from both central funding and from Rottnest Island’s own funding. Rottnest Island’s own funding has not produced the revenue flows that were anticipated. Under the Rottnest Island management plan, it is envisaged that the island will be able to meet its outgoings. I hope that as a result of that, and in accordance with our election commitment, that commitment will be met.
