WA: Alintagas to be 100 per cent privatised

PERTH, Dec 23 AAP - The West Australian government will privatise the entire operations of
the state-owned AlintaGas, Energy Minister Colin Barnett announced in parliament today.

The sale process, to begin in the first half of 2000, was a major step towards total
deregulation of the industry by July 2002, he said.

Before the middle of next year, a parliamentary sale steering committee was expected to
recommend to the government the appropriate structure, method and timing of the sale.
