What is the annual saving to the state budget of abolishing the carbon tax? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts CARBON TAX The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (17:28): I thank the honourable member for his question. I will take that question on notice. Obviously, we are conducting an analysis, now that the federal election is over, of the implications of the various political parties' election commitments should they come to pass, and the effect that that will have on our state budget. That process is under way and when I have that information I will be able to share it with members of the house.
