I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. The
Kununurra bail house delivers services under a tender that was initiated under
the previous Liberal–National government. A tender process was not
required for this variation of the existing contract.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Hope
Community Services was required to relocate the Kununurra bail house to
continue existing contracted services due to
the expiry of its existing lease and the property owner's intention not
to renew it.
