2) (a) -(f) The site selection criteria were developed through consultation with a broad range of stakeholders, and as such the criteria represent a consensus view. In this regard, I fully support the process that has lead to these criteria and the application of these criteria for the siting of hazardous waste treatment precincts in Western Australia. (g) No criterion or criteria were recommended by the 3C relating to social impact assessment. (h) No criterion or criteria were recommended by the 3C relating to economic impact assessment. (i) No criterion or criteria were recommended by the 3C relating to social impact assessment. (j) No criterion or criteria were recommended by the 3C relating to political ramifications and outcomes for a Labor Government assessment (3) The 3C's work is being undertaken by a stakeholder group that is independent of Government. In this regard, it would be inappropriate for me to form an opinion on whether the 3C's assessment of any of the sites can, or cannot, be faulted until the 3C reports to Government.
