TAB
486. Mr J.E. McGRATH to the Minister for Racing and Gaming:
I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister has
not seen the story—I gather the Treasurer would have seen the story
because it was in the finance pages—would he ask the Treasurer to use
the powers available to him to request a thorough inquiry by the Economic
Regulation Authority into the operations of the TAB?

AnswerView source ↗

No, of course not. The TAB
is operated by Racing and Wagering Western Australia. The responsible authority
that reports to government and publishes its annual reports in accordance with
its obligations. There is no suggestion that there would be a requirement for
the inquiry that the member is suggesting. I will not commit to that.
