FREMANTLE
PORT — ASSET SALES
103. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Treasurer:
I refer to the Treasurer's
comments in February this year when he said the Fremantle port will be sold by
July or August this year. Does the Treasurer still stand by this time line?

AnswerView source ↗

Yes, we are working towards a time
line. We have a number of hurdles to jump through. One is getting it through
Parliament, both the upper and lower houses, and then we have a number of
issues. We are working to the time line. It will be at that time line.
Mr
B.S. Wyatt interjected.

Mr
M. McGowan : This term?
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : Yes, that is working. There are a number of hurdles to jump
through, one hurdle at a time. The next one will be getting it —
Mr
M. McGowan interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Leader of the Opposition!
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : — through this house and the upper house and move on to
the detailed sale process. But we are working to that schedule.
