LANDGATE — ILLEGAL PROPERTY SALES
I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister was aware of this problem in the systems over a year ago and he promised to fix it, what has he actually done to fix it and what reassurance can he give to Western Australian homeowners that their homes will not be sold from beneath their own feet? Mr B.J. GRYLLS

As I said, thousands and thousands of transactions take place on a weekly basis. We have had one confirmed issue of this. It has been thoroughly investigated and that investigation is ongoing. It is both a police investigation and an investigation for Landgate. Systems and procedures have been changed to try to understand how the incident happened and how to avoid it happening again. We now have another allegation—it is just an allegation—that this may have happened, and, again, I am very happy to provide the member for Perth with the information about what changes Landgate has put in place since the Mildenhall issue.
