MEN'S SHEDS OF
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
737. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Mental Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Thank you, minister. Setting aside the federal government's
responsibility, will the minister do his part and commit to re-establishing
ongoing funding for Men's Sheds of WA through the Department of Health
and deliver the good news at its annual general meeting, which is to be held at
the end of this month?
Mr D.J. Kelly interjected.
The SPEAKER : Minister for
Water, I call you to order for the first time.

AnswerView source ↗

I cannot give any commitments in relation to the annual
general meeting. I can certainly commit to these and other important mental
health preventive programs continuing to provide good opportunities for people
to achieve wellbeing in the community.
