(a)-(g) As the Member would be aware, the Western Australian Government has no involvement with respect to the financial or future matters relating to the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX Ltd.). Any comments surrounding the ASX Ltd. relate to opinion in capacity of Premier which of course is expected, but do not reflect any formal decision by Cabinet or the Government to mandate such a suggested course of action by the Member for Cannington.
