WATER CHARGES — COST REFLECTIVITY
I have a supplementary question. On 26 May this year, the Minister for Water told this house that Western Australians would have to pay 20 per cent more to pay the true cost reflectivity of water. We have now found out from the ERA that it is actually going to be 42 per cent more. The SPEAKER : Member, I need a question. Mr F.M. LOGAN : When will the minister tell Western Australians what pain they will suffer from future water price increases? Dr G.G. JACOBS

The water prices for next year will be part of the budgetary process. Part of that process will be consideration of the Economic Regulation Authority, but not the only consideration.
