LANDGATE — COMMERCIALISATION
480. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Minister for Lands:
I refer to the media release
regarding the sale of Landgate —
The � Government —
And I quote, is —
�� to commercialise a restricted
part of Landgate's automated functions.
And further, that —
� a new operator will
be restricted in the prices it can charge customers during the term of the
contract.
(1) What exactly does the minister
mean by commercialising a part of Landgate?
(2) Why has the
minister linked this controversial privatisation to the funding of something as
important as the redress scheme?

(1)–(2) Thank
you for that question. The member is entirely incorrect; we are not selling
Landgate. In fact, the media statement states that we are not selling Landgate,
so I do not know what the member is referring to. Member for Scarborough, get a
correct question. Read a media statement correctly and come and ask a proper
question.

The SPEAKER : Members!
