Is the minister concerned that a major industrial development has been established in Hazelmere without planning approval? Mr KIERATH
AnswerView source ↗
If there were, I would be concerned. I will not take the member for Armadale's word for it as she has been wrong on many occasions. Mr Court: Did Mr Len Buckeridge not build all the public housing for the Opposition when it was in government? Mr KIERATH: BGC, the Buckeridge Group of Companies, did a lot of building for Homeswest when the Labor Party was in office. I would be concerned if a major industrial complex had been built without planning approval. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! I allow a lot of discretion for members to interject, particularly if a member has asked a question or has responsibility for the area. Other members are trying to take advantage of that and we are ending up with a free-for-all, which makes this place look as if it is not doing any proper business at all. I ask the minister to be brief. I will formally call the member for Armadale to order if she interjects once more during question time. Mr KIERATH: I am not aware that the complex was built without planning approval. The power to prosecute lies solely with the City of Swan. If it has happened, I encourage the City of Swan to take appropriate action.
