As a supplementary question, now that the Opposition has reminded the Premier of his own guidelines, will he be honest and concede that the sole reason he gave for breaking his election promise to small business is fundamentally flawed? Dr G.I. GALLOP

I know what the position of the National Competition Council is. I have spoken to the NCC about this matter at length. Its view on the substantial loss of revenue to Western Australia is on the public record. Mr C.J. Barnett: How much? Dr G.I. GALLOP: It will not indicate how much. It has said that it will be a substantial amount. Mr C.J. Barnett: You reckon you know how much. Samuel did not even raise the issue with you, did he? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition! Dr G.I. GALLOP: This is the National Competition Council’s major issue of concern with Western Australian policy, and a substantial amount of the $70 million that comes to our State will be lost unless there is change in this area.
