AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I thank the honourable member for the question. I recently responded to a question on this matter from Hon Murray Criddle and advised him that Mal Parr and Daron Smith from my office will be going to Meekatharra. I think they are scheduled to go tomorrow to have a first-hand look. Hon Norman Moore : They thought you were making a decision last week. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : No; if the Leader of the Opposition refers to the answer I gave to Hon Murray Criddle - Hon Norman Moore : No, I’m referring to what the people up there think. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : I do not know what people up there think; I cannot be held responsible for what they think. However, I can tell the Leader of the Opposition that the plan is for Mr Parr and Mr Smith from my office to visit Meekatharra on Thursday. They will have a first-hand look and report to me on Friday. I do not doubt that by early next week, I will have made a decision about the Meekatharra School of the Air.
