 Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (12:08): (1166) My question is to the Treasurer. On the announcement of the Silver review you were quoted as saying that it was ‘needed to address the budget recurrent problem that we have’. Will you be accepting all recommendations of the Silver review?

 Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Treasurer, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Regional Development) (12:08): I thank Mrs McArthur for her question and her interest in the Silver review. As I have outlined in this chamber on numerous occasions, the Silver review, along with the government response, will both be made public.

 Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (12:08): Treasurer, will you be accepting the recommendations, given that you said it was important that the Silver review be adopted?

 Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Treasurer, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Regional Development) (12:09): Mrs McArthur, apologies: I should have been more explicit in my answer. The response will be made public, which will answer your question.
