I ask a supplementary question. When will the minister tell the average family in Western Australia when it will be slugged with a $620 bill for water? That is the true cost of water and he knows it. Dr G.G. JACOBS

The Premier and I have been on the record as saying that next year’s increase will not be of the magnitude it was this year. However, the pace of that increase reflecting the true cost of water in the pricing regime is a matter for the government, the minister and the cabinet and part of the budgetary process.
