Given that the Premier has ruled out a December election, will he guarantee that Parliament will not rise until all the legislation recommended by the Select Committee on Petroleum Products Pricing in Western Australia is passed; and if not, why not? Mr COURT

What the Leader of the Opposition says about this election date is quite interesting. He says that the Opposition is ready to go at any time. When the Government says that it will be a February-March election, he says that the Government is stalling and that it should go now. Notice will be given today of the petroleum prices legislation.
