I refer to the transition to the Head Contractor model for building contracts in the Kimberley that have caused longstanding local contractors to lose work, and I ask:
(a) how many building contract tenders in the Kimberley have been awarded to contractors from the Eastern States since 1 January 2010;
(b) on what dates were each tender awarded;
(c) were any applications for these tenders made by local contractors; and
(i) if yes, why were local contractors over-looked; and
(d) how many inspections have been carried out on the workmanship of the contractors who won the tenders?
