I refer to question without notice 1549 on 20 November 2003 and to the Auditor General’s adverse report on the management of food safety in Western Australia by the Department of Health. (1) When will the proposed food Bill be introduced into Parliament? (2) Given that the chapter 3 of the food safety standards were agreed to by the federal, state and territory health ministers in July 2000, why has it taken so long for the proposed food Bill to reach this stage?
