REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT — COMMENTS BY MEMBERS
FOR MURRAY–WELLINGTON AND EYRE
784. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Both members said that the portfolio of regional development should be held by
a Liberal Party member, not a National Party member. One of them also said that
there is an unfair distribution of royalties for regions funding. Now that the
Premier knows what they said, does he agree?

Can I explain? When the National
Party selects its new minister, I will discuss the portfolios with the Deputy
Premier, the Liberal leader in the upper house and the new Leader of the
National Party. Unfortunately, the Leader of the Opposition will not be a part
of that discussion!
