KIMBERLEY
FLOODS — AFTER-ACTION REVIEW
1041. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to the Kimberley floods,
which have been described as ''the worst flooding event our state has
ever seen'', and the Kimberley major flood incident review.
(1) Noting it has
now been over nine months since this event occurred, have the terms of
reference for this review been finalised?
(2) What is the status and expected
completion date of this review?
(3) Given the
scale and magnitude of the destruction caused by this flooding event, will the
state government commission an independent and public inquiry into the event?
(4) If no to (3), why not?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. This was a significant event, as the honourable
member would appreciate, and indeed the focus remains on the recovery of those
communities and getting them back on track as quickly as possible.
