The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The Spanish Inquisition. The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly The Hon. J.R. RAU: The situation is this: there was an undertaking given by the government to the member for Frome that there would be a serious piece of work done which would involve the member for Frome and my other ministerial colleague, the Minister for Police and Emergency Services obviously, looking at what alternatives might exist to some of the proposals that have been floated around and what solution might be found— Members interjecting: The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly The Hon. J.R.

The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly The Hon. J.R. RAU: Indeed, both of them indeed, to talk about this very matter, but due to the fact of me being required here, and I think from memory one of the other ministers had a problem, we weren't able to have a meeting and have a chat about this matter. But it is at that pointy end that we are reaching at the moment, so I expect that we will have something to report back publicly very soon. Ms Chapman interjecting: The Hon. J.R.
