QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the collapse of the Albany and Collie Synergy call centres, which were funded by the Gallop government as part of the $1.8 million package of taxpayers’ money, and ask - (1) Is the minister aware that 30 existing jobs - and potentially 50 jobs - were lost in Collie? (2) Is the minister aware that 70 existing jobs - and potentially 120 - were lost in Albany? (3) Given that the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry stated that the call centres would provide 300 regional jobs to offset the Gallop government’s “Protecting our old-growth forests” policy, what is being done to replace those jobs? (4) Given the input of $1.8 million of taxpayer funds, including $800 000 for the regional call centres, what did the government do to monitor its investment in this company? (5) What action does the government intend to take? Hon KEN TRAVERS

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am advised - (1) The Minister for State Development is aware of the loss of up to 38 jobs in Collie. (2) The Minister for State Development is aware of the loss of up to 29 jobs in Albany. (3) The government, through the Department of Industry and Resources, has a range of programs in place that are designed to increase employment in regional Western Australia, such as the Regional Industry Assistance Scheme, the South West Industry Assistance Scheme and the Furniture and Fine Wood Industries program. (4) The total of state government financial assistance provided to date is $800 000. The funding was provided under an agreement for financial support between Synergy Regional Pty Ltd and the Minister for State Development, which provided a staged rollout of assistance funding subject to the company meeting agreed performance milestones. Those milestones were met for the assistance provided. (5) The Department of Industry and Resources and the State Solicitor’s Office have met with the receiver. The Minister for State Development is awaiting legal advice on the state’s legal options and advice from the receiver on the future options for Synergy Regional Pty Ltd. This advice will be necessary to inform the minister on the government’s response to this matter.
