CYCLONE SEROJA —
RECOVERY
415. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I note that 11 April will mark the
two-year anniversary of the devastation of severe tropical cyclone Seroja.
(1) Does the
minister intend to travel to the midwest region to update the community
directly on the state government's recovery progress; and, if not, why
not?
(2) In relation
to today's $9.2 million pre-budget announcement, is it an admission
that the government's recovery program has failed?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) My travel diary for the next
couple of weeks is being worked out.
(2) No.
