WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (14:08): On indulgence, I would like to make some brief remarks about the sad loss today of the Hon. Dale Baker after a lengthy battle with illness. Mr Baker was a member of this house from 1985 to 1997, holding the seats of Victoria and MacKillop. He served as deputy leader of the opposition from 1989 to 1990 and leader of the opposition from 1990 to 1992. Under the Brown and Olsen governments he served as minister for mines and energy, minister for primary industries and minister for finance. I personally extend my sympathies and best wishes to his immediate and extended family. They deserve to feel very proud of his contribution to this state. As agreed with the opposition, a more formal condolence motion will occur next week.
