WESTERN
POWER — PRIVATISATION
300. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON to the
Treasurer:
I have a supplementary question.
What assurances can the Treasurer give to Western Australians so that they can
trust him when he says that he will not privatise Western Power when he has
spent the past 30 years asking governments to sell assets?

The member for Cannington has been

Power. That is it.
