ASSET SALES — WESTERN POWER
737. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Treasurer:
I have a supplementary question. I repeat:
considering the government is selling Western Power, when does it expect to
make the announcement, and how much of Western Power will it be selling? It is
a public asset and this is Parliament.

This is Parliament, and it is a public
asset. It is a very valuable and important asset. I hope the opposition will
support the government in the upper house today to go to a new regulatory
regime for that asset, rather than sitting on the fence. We announced in the
budget that we are going to pursue the sale, and we will do it in our time and
in our manner.
