QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the importance of the Western Australian State Archives in our cultural heritage, I ask:
(a) is the Minister aware that Professor Don Garden has made a call not just for integration at the built heritage level, but has also called on the States to put greater emphasis on broader cultural heritage issues;
(b) does the Minister agree with this view;
(c) what representations has the Minister made to the Minister for Culture and the Arts regarding the role the State's Archives play in our State's heritage;
(d) have representations have been made by the Minister to the Minister for Culture and the Arts, the Treasurer or other Ministers regarding the benefits of a Digital Records Initiative for the State's cultural, built and environmental heritage; and if not, why not?
