I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
I would also like to recognise this
very special day for the Leader of the Opposition, but I think she is wrong—I
think she is only 35.
Hon Sue Ellery : I'll take it.
Hon Ken Travers : Give it a rest! She'll still take
you down.
Hon PETER COLLIER : Dream on, mate! Now back to reality.
(1)–(2) The Insurance Commission of Western
Australia, RiskCover, commissioned an investigation into multiple fires
occurring in evaporative air conditioners at Department of Education sites over
the previous 12 months. The Department of Education advises that the
recommendations of this report are in the process of being implemented or
assessed.
I have the report and I table it.
