MR BERRY: I tell you again that we have an undertaking from VITAB that they will not offer inducements; nor will they recruit ACT punters.
Mr Humphries: Can they offer better dividends?
MR BERRY: So that is the end of the matter.
Mrs Carnell: New South Wales TAB offers better dividends than the ACT.
MR BERRY: Do you understand how the totalisator works?
Mr De Domenico: Yes, but you do not.
MADAM SPEAKER: Order!
MR BERRY: You share. Basically, you share in the pool.
Mr Humphries: You are going to have to share the blame, Wayne.
Mrs Carnell: Okay, so somebody - - -
MADAM SPEAKER: Order! Let Mr Berry answer the question.
MR BERRY: The dividends are going to end up being the same.
Mr De Domenico: Are they? On all occasions?
Mr Humphries: Are they the same?
MR BERRY: I have said to you a dozen times that there will be no offer of inducements. Stop rattling the sabre.
State Bank of New South Wales
MR STEVENSON: My question is to the Attorney-General, Mr Connolly. It concerns the State Bank. I realise that the Treasurer may have an interest as well. On 15 December 1993 I raised a matter of public importance concerning the State Bank in which I detailed certain actions by bank officers, particularly senior bank officers, which would suggest that it needed further investigation. I ask the Attorney-General: Has he caused any action to be taken, or is he aware of any action that has been taken or is being taken with regard to these matters?
MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, my understanding is that there is some litigation involving the matters that Mr Stevenson raised in this Assembly in the New South Wales courts, so it is inappropriate for me to comment further.
ACTTAB - Contract with VITAB Ltd
MR KAINE: Madam Speaker, I have a question to the Minister for sports and rorts - sports and recreation, I am sorry. Minister, when was the ACTTAB board first told about this deal with VITAB that was being cooked up within the administration? Was this advice after the departure of Mr Colquhoun from the board, and was that because you knew that the racing industry was concerned about the VITAB deal?
