PRIVATISATION —
GOVERNMENT ASSETS
827. Mr D.C. NALDER to the Treasurer:
My question is to the Treasurer.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members! I am
sure we want to hear this in silence, especially the member for Swan Hills at
the back there.
Ms S. Winton interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Wanneroo, please. Member for Bateman, start again.
Mr D.C. NALDER : My question
is to the Treasurer.
Mr M. McGowan : Don't
get nervous!
Mr D.C. NALDER : I am scared.
Obviously, I am not scared of the Premier, but I am scared of this man.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!
Mr D.C. NALDER : I refer to
the Treasurer's election promise not to privatise state assets. Can the
Treasurer confirm that the McGowan Labor government has privatised or is in the
process of privatising Landgate, PEXA, Advara, Warradarge wind farm, Albany wind
farm, Greenough solar farm and the TAB?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for Bateman for
his question. My unrequited love has finally gone answered, it seems! No, I cannot
confirm those, but I look forward to the matter of public interest about this
topic very shortly. I note that during the member's last interview on
this issue with Gareth Parker, I think, the member for Bateman said that
Landgate was a commercialisation or a capitalisation of a revenue stream. I have
also agreed with that descriptor and it is
one that we will no doubt flush out very shortly. In respect of the member's
''do you agree with'', no I do not.
