I
refer to the recent downgrading of WA's credit rating to AA2 and ask: (a) will
this mean that the only Australian semi-government bonds that can be purchased
in the future by the Western Australian Future Fund are those issued by WA Treasury Corporation; and (b) if
no to (1), what other State Government bonds does the Treasurer expect will
provide a higher yield than WA bonds and why?
