QuestionView source ↗
I refer the minister to the Labor Party’s policy for Ningaloo, which states - Water quality is an issue in towns such as Mt Magnet and Meekatharra with water quality in those places being well below World Health Organisation (WHO) standards. This, of course, places the residents of these towns at considerable risk. Accordingly, a Labor Government will: . review water supplies to all towns in Ningaloo and where standards do not meet the WHO guidelines, implement strategies to immediately improve water quality. Is the issuing or the provision of water in bottles the Government’s strategy to overcome this problem? Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS
