The full details of the budget will be revealed next week; therefore, I cannot comment on particular matters. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Cottesloe to order. Mr E.S. RIPPER : I can say once again - I think I have said it twice already - that we will keep the impact of the basket of household fees and charges way below the rate of inflation. We will honour our promise and that is contrary to the record of the coalition government, which did not mind how much it slugged average families through household fees and charges. It did not even start to measure it until the then Gallop opposition started to complain and agitate. Finally, at our prompting, it started to measure it. The results were not good. Our results are a lot better for average families than were the Court government’s household fees and charges. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the members for Vasse and Leschenault to order.
