I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. In responding to this question it is necessary to clarify a response provided to a previous question on this subject. Advice provided to me regarding question without notice 807 asked on 22 September 2011 led me to suggest that Mycologia Pty Ltd had undertaken mould remediation efforts at the South Hedland campus when in fact its work was limited to testing of the affected area.
