          <by role="member" id="543">Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (15:09):</by>  My question is to the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer inform the house if the government goes ahead with the commercialisation project concerning the business of the Lands Titles Office, will the Registrar-General still be responsible for all complex transactions? What is his definition of a complex transaction? What percentage of all transactions are complex transactions likely to be?</text>

          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS:</by>  I do note that the Liberal government of New South Wales has conducted a similar approach to lands titles services. It is interesting to note that the Leader of the Opposition bemoans that process that other Liberal governments are progressing. However, I will get the member a full briefing on all these matters. I invite her to speak to me after question time and I will get her a full briefing from the project team.</text>
