(2) Why was this location subsequently removed from the list? (3) Is the minister aware that the Department of Conservation and Land Management supported the incorporation of the site into Yalgorup National Park? (4) Is the minister aware that the site is only 150 metres from long-established local residences and only 700 metres from Lake Clifton? (5) Why is the government once again considering compromising the unique environment of the south west in supporting this project? Mr F.M. LOGAN

AnswerView source ↗
The member for Dawesville did give me some notice of this question at 12.40 pm. I am advised by the Department of Industry and Resources that a response to the question will take longer than the time he has allowed us. Mr P.D. Omodei : Rubbish! Mr F.M. LOGAN : If the member thought of the context of the question, he probably would not say that. The answer will take longer to prepare because it is a cross-agency request. It is not solely within the purview of the Department of Industry and Resources. I ask the member for Dawesville to put the question on notice and I will give him an undertaking - Dr K.D. Hames interjected. The SPEAKER : The member who asked the question has a limited ability to interject. However, that does not allow him to speak far more than the minister. If the member for Dawesville does not like what the minister is saying, that is fine, but the member must allow him to answer it. Mr F.M. LOGAN : I ask the member for Dawesville to put the question on notice. I will give him a commitment that my office will get back to him tomorrow and ensure that he is given as much information as possible.
