          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (14:38): </by> My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. Is the Minister aware of what industrial action the Public Service union is intending to take to oppose the government's shared services reforms, and what disruption, expense and inconvenience is likely to result from such strike action? The PSA has today stated that it has endorsed members taking industrial action over a government plan to centralise administration jobs.</text>

          <by role="member" id="636">The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:38): </by> The member knows that the shared services project is a very important project for government. As a part of the briefings, the Public Service Association has regularly been briefed about the proceedings. We will continue to brief the Public Service Association and we would hope that they do not go forward with any industrial action. But if they choose so to do, well, obviously, we will look at it at the time.</text>
