ROTTNEST ISLAND ACCOMMODATION — EMERGENCY AUDIT
I refer to the minister’s answer to question without notice 1098 about the independent structural review of Rottnest Island accommodation. (1) Will the minister make public the full report of this review; and, if not, why not? (2) Will the minister reveal the name of the person or company that undertook the review; and, if not, why not? (3) Will the minister reveal the name of the company of the architect of those units reviewed on Rottnest Island and release the architectural plans for those units; and, if not, why not? (4) Will the minister reveal the name of the builder of those units reviewed; and, if not, why not? (5) If the minister will not reveal the full report of this review, how can the public have confidence that all 583 pillars were inspected, that all Rottnest Island units are safe, and that the minister is doing her job? Hon DONNA FARAGHER

I thank the member for some notice of this question. Unfortunately, I have been advised that one aspect of the answer is being clarified. If I get the answer before the end of question time, I will provide it; otherwise the member will receive the answer tomorrow. I am sorry for that, but it looks like something is just being double-checked.
