I refer to question on notice No. 87 of August 22 2002 and the answers provided -
(1) Can the Minister explain why it is a matter of judgement on the part of residents and businesses in deciding whether or not to make a submission to the Cooke Review given that the Minister can make it very clear by providing an answer which indicates that all of their concerns will be properly and thoroughly addressed as part of the review?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Will the Minister now make it clear to residents and businesses in Boulder that people in Kalgoorlie-Boulder who go to the trouble of making a submission to the Cooke Review concerning the operations of Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Pty Ltd (Newmont Mining and Barrick Mines), not just Williamstown will have all of their concerns thoroughly and properly addressed as part of the review?
(4) If no to (4), why not?

(1-4) The terms of reference for the Cooke Review are very clear, and widely known. Additionally, Tony Cooke has made the scope of his review and his approach to conducting the review very clear, and the Minister for State Development has discussed these aspects with him. The Minister does not need to say anything more on these matters.
