ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:44): I have a further supplementary question. Does the minister agree that, unless you get the particular mechanism right with regard to the lifting of the cap, the government will not achieve the reduction in poker machines that the Premier trumpeted some years ago?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:45): That is exactly the work that we are doing now. Of course we want the legislation to succeed. Why wouldn't we? Obviously, that is the work that we are doing now.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO: We are, absolutely, a government in action. That is what we are doing, and I look forward to the support of honourable members opposite.
