K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Liquor Licensing Fees The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:09): Supplementary: has the Treasurer or anyone, to his knowledge, had discussions with any interest groups about the introduction of an extra $3.2 million per annum in liquor licensing fees, given that he has informed the chamber that they will be happening and he is committed to them? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Liquor Licensing Fees The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:09): I can speak for myself, Mr President. I have not had any discussions with—I guess it is a broad definition of what 'interest groups' are. There can be those who are immediately impacted by having to pay it and there can be others who are impacted by potentially the costs of using the services which might be impacted. However, if the Leader of the Opposition is, by inference, referring to the AHA in particular, or perhaps clubs, I have not had any discussions with the AHA or club associations in relation to the detailed matters outlined in the budget papers.
