It is excellent that the Premier will send Hon Nick Griffiths to this meeting, but what real solutions will Hon Nick Griffiths take to this meeting, or will he just listen? Dr GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

The State of Western Australia has already taken proposals to the national meeting. Mr Grylls: What are they? Dr GALLOP: Has the member for Merredin not read the material from the conference? It is interesting that when the Government put out its plan, the Leader of the Opposition in Victoria said in Parliament that it was a great plan. He is obviously a man of foresight in matters such as this. We will go to that meeting. We have examined a range of issues in terms of what this State can do, but this is a national problem. It must be dealt with as a national issue.
