WOODMAN POINT WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT — TREATED SEWAGE WATER SPILL
I have a supplementary question. The Water Corporation even acknowledges that the spill will continue during the rest of this week, over the weekend and possibly into next week. Will the minister now prosecute the Water Corporation over this environmental vandalism? This is the third spill from that plant. Mr W.R. MARMION

This is not the third spill; the member is being misleading again. Mr F.M. Logan : Over the last few years, it’s the third spill! The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn! Mr W.R. MARMION : This is the normal treated waste water. Under the licence conditions, I have been advised by the Department of Environment and Conservation, there has been no breach of the conditions. If there is a breach of the conditions, it will suffer the consequences.
