We have been trialling it.
Ms
R. Saffioti interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for West Swan!
Mr
W.R. MARMION : We cannot just implement something like that; we have to
trial it and get feedback from both industry and subcontractors. The trial has
completed. A decision has not been made, but a decision is being looked at at
the moment.
