My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the Commonwealth's assurance to Western Australia that it would direct the Grants Commission not to reduce Western Australia's GST by more than any additional royalty revenue. Why was this assurance blacked out in correspondence between the Western Australian Under Treasurer and the Commonwealth Secretary to the Treasury that was released under freedom of information?
