ALCOHOL ONSELLING —
PROHIBITION REGULATIONS — CARNARVON AND GASCOYNE JUNCTION
542. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Racing and Gaming:
I have a supplementary question. My
final part of the question was in regard to which other communities the
minister intends to roll this out to. Can the minister indicate to the house
which other communities he has in mind, and does it include the City of
Geraldton?

We will respond as is appropriate
on the advice that we have. This is about making sure that those vulnerable
communities, often in very remote parts of Western Australia, are not preyed
upon by the sly groggers. They have no interest in protecting the health and
wellbeing of Western Australians; they have every interest in making huge,
exorbitant profits from trading in misery. We will respond when there is
community concern. We will always do that. We will put families first, we will
put communities first, we will put your community first, and we will do that at
every opportunity.
