QuestionView source ↗
A Western Power Wyndham newsletter states that the February meter readings have been completed and accounts have been issued to all customers and that the previous billing period was lengthier than usual; that is, 88 days instead of 60 days. (1) Will the minister please advise why the local residents of Wyndham are still receiving their accounts over a period of even up to 90 days instead of the stated 60 days? (2) Will the minister also advise the House what equipment is used by Western Power staff to read the electricity meters in Wyndham? (3) By whatever method is used to read these meters, would the minister be confident in saying that the recorded readings are in fact accurate? Hon TOM STEPHENS

I ask the member to place this question on notice as more time is required to produce a more detailed response to the question. In the light of some of the answers that I have been recently delivering to this House, it is presumably to make sure that the answers are accurate.
