Electricity Prices

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:04): My question is to the Minister for Regional Development. What representations has the minister made in order to secure reliable affordable electricity for major regional employers, including Arrium, OZ Minerals, Nyrstar and BHP Billiton?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel is called to order.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:04): As the Leader of the Opposition is very well aware, there is a Minister for Energy in this state, and this government is doing all it can to get the best prices for electricity, and I would ask, Mr Speaker, if you could ask the member to redirect the question to the relevant minister.
