AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question because it gives the government an opportunity to publicise one of the least publicised jewels in the Labor Government’s crown; namely, the development at Champion Lakes. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : I am sure that— [Interruption from the gallery.] The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. If members in the public gallery wish to leave, please do so without making any comments. Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : Today I was very pleased to attend and participate in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Australian Dragon Boat Championships currently underway at Champion Lakes. A government member : Did you win? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : I am sure that I would have won had I participated! This is the first national championships held at this new facility built by the state government at a cost of some $34 million. The government is very confident that it will recoup that cost. This event alone has attracted the interest of 650 competitors from around Australia and thousands of spectators who have come from around Armadale. The Australian Dragon Boat Federation is very pleased to be the first national competition to be staged at this facility. Great interest has been expressed by Rowing Australia and from canoeing and kayaking groups that want to make use of the facilities at Champion Lakes. Western Australia now offers the best rowing, canoeing, kayaking and dragon-boating conditions available in Australia. I urge all members to visit this magnificent development delivered by this government for the people of Western Australia. It is another example of how this Labor government builds the state and gives the people the benefit of the boom. The SPEAKER : I call the member for Murray to order for the second time.
