My supplementary question is to the Treasurer. Given his last answer, I refer the Treasurer to comments in the Western Australian parliament by the leader of the parliamentary Labor Party, Eric Ripper, who said: 'No other parliament has the right to interfere with our raising or lowering of royalty rates. The federal government has no right to interfere in our royalty decisions.' I ask the Treasurer again: does he agree with his Labor Party colleague?
