Mining Industry

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): My question is to the Premier. Given the Premier does not support a right of veto for farmers on freehold land, will he rule out consulting farmers on a right of veto on farming land?

Ms Stinson interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Badcoe is warned for a second and final time.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I know that we are definitely very keen to look at other models that exist around the rest of the country and we have made a commitment to look at those various models that exist around the country. I think consultation is extraordinarily important. Do I support the right of veto? No.
