ESPERANCE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND EDUCATION SUPPORT CENTRE
541. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Given the urgency for remediation required at the Esperance Senior High School
and the Esperance Education Support Centre, can the Esperance community look
forward to a commitment from the government for the situation to be addressed
within the next 12 months?

I
thank the member for the question. We invest an enormous amount into Esperance
and the great southern. I recall, I think, $30 million was spent on the
road between Albany and Esperance, which was designed to save many lives; from
memory, there was the upgrade to the Jerramungup Health Centre; and there was
investment into the Esperance TAFE and the new basketball courts at the new
recreation centre, which again, from memory, was $16 million or so. It is
interesting that the only government that seems to invest anything in Esperance
is a Labor government and that when the Nationals and Liberals are in office,
nothing happens there. Obviously, we will continue to examine our capital works
budget, because we are rebuilding schools all over Western Australia due to the
neglect of the last Liberal–National government.
The SPEAKER : Members, that
concludes question time.
