WATER
CORPORATION — REDUNDANCIES
1022. Mr D.J. KELLY to the
Minister for Water:
I have a supplementary question. How many redundancies are
involved in the announcement that the minister referred to in the last couple
of days and how many further redundancies will there be in the rest of the
financial year?

I cannot put a number on that at this point in time, other
than to say that the Water Corporation —
Mr D.J. Kelly interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member
for Bassendean!
Ms M.J. DAVIES :
The information I have the moment is that a number of structural changes have
been made. As of 25 September, 14 staff have been made redundant, with three
being made redundant in September. It was an operational decision through one
of the alliances.
Mr
D.J. Kelly : In September?
Ms
M.J. DAVIES : Yes.
Mr
D.J. Kelly interjected.
Ms
M.J. DAVIES : Sorry?
The
SPEAKER : Minister, through the Chair.
Ms M.J. DAVIES : I
have just indicated to the Parliament � that we expect Water Corporation, as every other government organisation
does, to manage taxpayers' dollars efficiently. Water Corporation will
review its businesses.
Mr D.J. Kelly interjected.

Member for Bassendean!
Ms M.J. DAVIES : If
it is about communication, Water Corporation is in constant communication with
its workforce and will continue to be as it goes through this review.
