HARVEY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL — ASBESTOS
I have a supplementary question. Does the minister accept that leaving half the asbestos in place makes the situation at the school like a time bomb for a future administration and will put children’s safety at risk? Dr E. CONSTABLE

AnswerView source ↗

I am satisfied that the children’s safety is not at risk. The procedures being used to replace the asbestos will not put them at risk. I will obviously continue to monitor any situation in which asbestos is known to be there.
