With respect to the Broometime Lodge, located at lot 61, 52 Forest Street, Broome, which is now being used as a hostel for patients attending the Kimberley dialysis centre, a letter dated 31 January 2003 from the Department of Housing and Works states - The managing agents have agreed to reasonable access to the pool to be limited to the hours between 10.00am and 9.00pm and the live in caretaker has been instructed on these initiatives and has given a commitment that he will monitor behaviour on the property constantly. The managing agency for this facility does have a stringent set of guidelines for behaviour in regards to premises that are under their control. I advise the minister that I have received serious complaints regarding physical abuse and foul language emanating from these premises and ask - (1) In view of these complaints, will the minister inform the House whether a full-time resident caretaker manager is employed at the premises? (2) If yes to (1), will the minister explain the absence of this person on 8 November at about 7.45 pm? (3) If no to (1), how can the stringent set of guidelines for behaviour be controlled at all times? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
