TAB — PRIVATISATION — DEED OF AGENCY

79. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:

I refer to the deed of agency as part of the sale of the WA TAB.

(1) When will the deed of agency be finalised?

(2) Have all representative bodies and racing clubs agreed to and signed off on the deed of agency; and, if not, which bodies or clubs have not signed?

(3) Will individual race clubs be permitted to negotiate individual sponsorship agreements with the new operator of the WA TAB?

Hon DARREN WEST replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Regional Development representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming, I give the following answer.

The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Racing and Gaming.

(1) The deed of agency process was finalised in February 2020.

(2) No. Perth Racing and the Pinjarra Race Club did not sign the deed.
