In regard to questions on Notice 703, 704, 707, as the Hon member is aware the Minister for State Development recently announced that Mr Tony Cooke will be carrying out an independent inquiry into the issues associated with the impact of mining in the Kalgoorlie area. The terms of reference for Mr Cooke's inquiry will adequately cover the issues you have raised. It is therefore appropriate to wait until Mr Cooke has completed his inquiry and made his recommendations before a response to these particular questions is provided.
