The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:05): The Treasurer has indicated that the decision will be taken by the Treasurer and the leaders of government. What position will the Treasurer and the state Premier be advocating for at these meetings?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:05): The position will be as I have just outlined—that is, we are open to the discussion. We are prepared to listen to the debate, but we will want to look and see that the revenue base for the state is also a consideration in terms of any decision that we take.
