I thank the member for some notice of this question. The member has tried to edit the introductory remarks of the question. The written question refers to the Fremantle Maritime Museum, which was not clear by the question that the member asked because she omitted the introductory paragraph. However, the substance of the question is the same. The actual loss of revenue resulting from the glass breakage incident is $342 000, which is being met by the government. The Department of Housing and Works is managing the prospect of a claim in consultation with the State Solicitor’s Office.
