TELECENTRES — REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA
I refer to the parliamentary secretary’s comments in this house on Thursday, 22 April 2010 that by the end of 2010 nine new telecentres would be established in regional Western Australia. (1) Where exactly will the nine new telecentres be established and what is the population of each town? (2) In establishing new telecentres, has the government undertaken any community consultation to gauge whether these services are needed; and, if not, what criteria were used to choose each particular location? Hon WENDY DUNCAN
