GNANGARA MOUND AQUIFER — SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
I have a supplementary question. It is clear that the minister cannot answer any of the four questions I have put to him. He has not even made an attempt to answer them. Given that the minister has not even made an attempt to answer those questions — The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn, I gave you some latitude in getting to your supplementary question, but I do not think you have reached it yet. If you are not going to ask the question, I will sit you down. Mr F.M. LOGAN : Can the minister please explain to the house how he is going to implement the commitment made by the Premier that the government would save the Gnangara mound? Dr G.G. JACOBS

The Gnangara sustainability strategy talks about land use; it is not just about water. It goes across agencies. It talks about better land use and how to relocate the pine plantation, which is a significant draw on the Gnangara mound, and how to best use the land over the mound. There are some costs and savings involved in funding some of these programs into the future, as indicated in the strategy. Maybe the member could sit down and actually read this very good strategy. The appropriate use of this land will go some way towards funding this program into the future.
