Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I tried to say, and did not say it well obviously yesterday, this is an integrated approach that requires sort of an overall coordination by myself. It is not a singular initiative on my part. Mr. Kakfwi, Mr. Antoine, Mr. Dent and, of course, the Premier are co-partners in this process. The western governance issue, I believe, the Premier will speak to next week in a detailed form, so I would not want to pre-empt anything the Premier has to say.
What I will say is the Finance Minister is an intricate part of certainly our overall strategy to enter into the non-renewable resource tax window that is essential, particularly to the Western Territory if my projections are correct that your revenue base in the coming years will end up somewhat flat. We are going to have to find new sources of revenue. In the world I live in, you cannot not move forward on a strategy that will provide us, hopefully with a window for revenues related to non-renewable resources without some resolution to western governance because of claims issues, self governance issues et cetera.
As I said yesterday, it is going to require an integrated approach and as I just said, I believe the Premier will speak next week to this thing in more detail. I would prefer if my honourable colleague would wait until that time so that he will understand what the government's position is through the eyes of the Premier.
