The SPEAKER : Members, please.
I am sure this is a good supplementary, member for Roe.
Mr P.J. RUNDLE : Considering
that the AFL is in the process of conducting meetings regarding future funding

There will be a ministerial meeting,
with all state ministers meeting very shortly in Adelaide. I think it is next
week or the week after, and I am going to it. I will be pushing the case
through that area as well. It is very disappointing to say that Minister
Colbeck at first refused to come to the meeting of all the ministers of our
great country. It was only after political
pressure from the Western Australian government that he changed his mind and is
now attending . I am very, very disappointed —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members! This is
very interesting.
Mr M.P. MURRAY : — not
only with the AFL for making that decision, but also with the federal
government for not supporting WA.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Has everyone
finished?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Leader of the House
and Minister for Housing, I call you to order for the first time.
