My staff met with Mr Clough on two occasions in 2006. Chief of Staff (9 March 2006); Chief of Staff and Senior Policy Advisor (27 October 2006). 3. Industry clients 4. Yes, among other issues. It is proper and appropriate that my office should listen to various points of view on these matters. It should be noted that I met with the Clean Air Alliance, the 3C co-chairs, the Kemerton Community Committee, the Avon Community Development Foundation, and various local members on hazardous waste issues. I also visited hazardous waste facilities in Queensland.
