Regional Bank Closures

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:15): Supplementary: has the minister conducted any preliminary work on recommendations that could be implemented at a state level, or is she simply passing the buck?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for his question. However, to start looking at what the state could potentially do when we don't yet know what the federal government is doing would seem to be unwise.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
