PRIVATISATION

I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister adhere to

last state election, not to privatise the TAB in the course of the next three
years?

I have already said what I have said continuously; namely,
that I feel strongly that privatising the TAB would take place only if it was
in the best interests of the industry and the wider community. If we take a
look at the stateXXX ###XXXs finances, we may consider
it. I do not think the government is considering it at this stage; in the
future, it may well do.
