BUNBURY WATERFRONT PROJECT
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister, having blamed the people of Bunbury for the project delays, now answer part (3) of my question, which is: when can the people of Bunbury expect to be enjoying the redeveloped Bunbury waterfront? Mr B.J. GRYLLS

AnswerView source ↗

I do not blame the people of Bunbury. The people did not like the government’s plan, so we worked with them and accepted their plan. I do not call that a delay. I call that accepting and acting on their concerns and delivering a project that they wanted. I think that is a positive. Mr J.N. Hyde : You haven’t delivered anything! The SPEAKER : Member for Perth, I am formally going to call you to order for the first time today.
