minister support a similar plan for his own electorate of Wagin, in particular
the town of Narrogin?

AnswerView source ↗
If the police or the Department of Health have a genuine
concern—I will just dispel one little issue, because I heard people
here say recently that the Department of Health just lodges a complaint every
time. That is not right. In fact, I will give the member some —
Mr M.P. Murray :
That's not the question I asked.
Mr D.T. Redman : It
needs some clarity, member.
Mr M.P. Murray : I
didn't ask you, either!
The SPEAKER : Thank
you, members!
Mr T.K. WALDRON :
Out of a total of 239 applications in 2011, 146 were investigated by the health
department, and it intervened in 35. Okay? Members opposite were all yelling at
me the other day, saying it intervenes —
Mr M.P. Murray : I
don't want a dorothy dixer! Answer my question!
Mr T.K. WALDRON :
What I have noticed when I am here in question time—it is really
interesting listening to the opposition—is that as soon as we answer a
question with the facts, they all yell, because there goes their question!
Mr M.P. Murray :
Answer the question!
Mr T.K. WALDRON : I
am about to answer it, if the member would have a bit of patience. If there was
an intervention by the police or the health department in an area within my
electorate, the same process would take place, and the director would make his
judgement. The director will make a judgement in the Pilbara and Kalgoorlie. I
actually think the member for Kalgoorlie and the member for Eyre, who probably
have some differing views in some cases, are working very sensibly towards
this, and I think that will help the process.
