I refer to the Minister’s announcement of 15 December 2009 that the State Government had secured a cricket test match per year for Perth for the next three years, and ask -
Was Perth in any danger of losing the hosting rights to a test match each year or was it more likely that, as for the past 33 years, Perth would host a test match each year?

No, Perth was not in danger of losing the hosting rights to a test match each year. However Perth was in danger of being awarded the least desirable test matches in terms of timing, which would have had a negative impact on international visitor numbers.
