I refer to the Minister for Racing and Gaming’s media statement of 4 August 2010 in relation to liquor restrictions in Aboriginal communities, and ask:
(a) what extra services falling within the Minister’s portfolio, and over and above those in place prior to the establishment of liquor restrictions, will be put in place in these three communities to ensure their underlying problems are addressed;
(b) what extra services, over and above those in place prior to the establishment of liquor restrictions, have been put in place in the other restricted communities in Western Australia; and
(c) if no extra services have been put in place, why not?
