ANZAC
INTERPRETIVE CENTRE — GOVERNMENT FUNDING
198. Mr P.B. WATSON to the Treasurer:
I have a
supplementary question. The mayor of Albany has publicly stated his concern
that without firm commitments, Albany might not be ready in time. I am not
asking what will happen; I am just saying —
A government member

I think this
government would share the view that every effort has to be made to ensure that
the celebrations around that very important milestone are a success. I am not
personally aware of the preparedness or otherwise of the Albany city council or
of the mayor's views. This is something we can definitely talk about
out of session. The member for Albany can give me his views and knowledge as to
what is occurring and I will take those on board.
