I thank Hon Barry House for providing some notice of the question. Western Power has a distribution line that feeds Riverslea, but this distribution line does not provide power to Margaret River. However, Western Power has a transmission line that runs through Riverslea and continues on to the Margaret River substation. A response can be provided in due course once it is clarified which line the question refers to. I therefore ask the honourable member to clarify which line is referred to and to place the question on notice. Hon Barry House : The one that was eaten by white ants! Hon KIM CHANCE : I will pass that on.
