ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY PRIVATISATION
Page: 7652

The Hon. MATTHEW MASON-COX: My question without notice is directed to the Treasurer. What action has the Treasurer taken in the public interest to establish an independent body comprising the Auditor-General, community representatives and financial experts to oversight and monitor the use of the funds realised from the sale or lease of New South Wales electricity assets?

The Hon. Eric Roozendaal: Another recycled question.

The Hon. MICHAEL COSTA: It is a recycled question, but let me say that the Auditor-General has extensive powers under legislation to monitor all of the Government's activities.
