AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question. I received the very comprehensive report from the Chief Scientist last Friday afternoon and I intend to release the report by the end of the week. She has made a number of recommendations and I have sought some advice from the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Swan River Trust about a couple of aspects of the report. I can assure the member that it will be made public.
