With regard to the Karalundi Community Swimming Pool, I ask:
(a) does the Minister accept the value of investing in preventative strategies that will secure health outcomes in remote aboriginal communities;
(b) what steps will the Minister take in his Health and Indigenous Affairs portfolios to allocate funds to the Karalundi Community so that they can replace the automatic chlorinator on their community swimming pool so that the pool can urgently be made operational again; and
(c) what steps will the Minister’s portfolio agencies take to enhance the environmental health outcomes at this community by securing an upgrade in the community’s roads and street lighting?
