          <by role="member" id="631">Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (15:02):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier have crown law or other legal opinion to support his claim that Holden's 400 job cuts breach the $275 million federal-state co-investment agreement or is Holden right in stating that the decision to cut 400 jobs 'is not linked in any way with our government assistance announcements. The assistance from the federal and state governments surrounds our next-generation of products'?</text>

WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (15:03):</by>  No. Just because you ask the same question in solemn, stentorian tones does not mean it is a different question. The answer is no. I have already set this out in my ministerial statement.</text>
