MAGISTRATE - KIMBERLEY
The state government recently appointed Magistrate Robert Young to work alongside, and eventually succeed, Kimberley Magistrate Antoine Bloemen upon his retirement in May 2008. Given that the need for a second permanent magistrate in the Kimberley has been acknowledged by the Attorney General, as reported in the Broome Advertiser of 2 August 2007, and was a key recommendation of the Kimberley Aboriginal reference group in 2005, what action, if any, has been taken to appoint a second permanent magistrate by May 2008? Hon SUE ELLERY
