I refer to my speech on Thursday, 13 November 2003, in which I stated that in June 2001, the Western Australian Government adopted the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code by way of regulations to the Health Act. (1) As these regulations have not yet been implemented and as it is a matter of extreme concern to a number of my constituents, will the minister advise the House when the Government plans to introduce the food Bill to comply with chapter 3 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code? (2) If, to date, a time has not been considered for the introduction of these regulations to the food Bill, will the minister explain why there has been a delay with this legislation? Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD
