Some notice of this question has been given. I again refer the Premier to the employment contract of the new Managing Director of Western Power. In the continued absence - we understand, through illness - of the Minister for Energy, I ask - (1) Will the Premier inform the House of the total annual cost of the managing director’s employment package, including salary and any other benefits? (2) Will the Premier inform the House on what basis the managing director will receive any bonus payment, and the total value of that bonus? (3) Will the Premier table the employment contract, including any other relevant documents, of the Managing Director of Western Power? Dr G.I. GALLOP

Unfortunately the Minister for Energy is still ill. Several members interjected Dr G.I. GALLOP: The Minister for Energy will give a full and comprehensive account of this matter. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Dr G.I. GALLOP: Not only will the Minister for Energy give a full and comprehensive account of this matter, but also he will provide more details of matters related to Western Power. I will not do today what I did yesterday - remind the Opposition of the tremendous support within the community for our electricity reform program.
