AnswerView source ↗

We will not reverse the decision on this. A decision has been made and the member knows that. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Dr G.I. GALLOP: The alternative location for the boat ramp facility - The SPEAKER: Order! I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Dr G.I. GALLOP: The alternative location, which was in North Bills Bay, was totally unacceptable on environmental grounds and there will be no going back to an unacceptable position.
