WESTERN POWER — POLE REPLACEMENT
450. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Energy:
I have a supplementary question. I understand
that these poles and wires were going to unused premises. Certainly from my
perspective —
The SPEAKER : Sorry, this is
not an opportunity to explain.
Mr P.J. RUNDLE : Sorry,
minister. There were also challenges with the online system. Will the minister
do a review into that?
The SPEAKER : Member, you
cannot make a statement as a supplementary question. Minister, given the time,
can we have a very brief response please.

I understand that this person may be
having some frustrations, but I think that, on balance, there are issues on
both sides. Western Power has tried to do the best thing in a confusing
situation. I have made a claim to Western Power to seek a resolution and reach
out to the property owner.
