CARNARVON
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GROWERS — FLOOD FUND
288. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier give
growers in Carnarvon an ironclad commitment that the flood fund he promised
will flow to the community within the next two weeks, as stated by the Minister
for Agriculture and Food, six months after the flood damage occurred?

To the best of my
recollection, the floods occurred in February and it is now June. But in any
event, n otwithstanding the inability of the member to count, as I said
we have allocated the money. We have been working to provide the soil. The
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development anticipates suitable
soil will be available within the next two to three weeks.
