I thank the member for some notice of this question. I note that the answer does not properly address part (2) of the question regarding the request by the National Party for a briefing. I will have to take that as a separate matter. The answers I have been provided with are - (1) Yes. (2) I refer the honourable member to the attached publication, “Coal Future Strategy”, which sets out clearly the government’s plans for Western Australia’s coal industry. I will, as I said, carry forward the request for a briefing. [See paper 353.]
