BUSHFIRE - GINGIN BROOK ROAD
I have a supplementary question. Is it true that because the claims of the remaining six victims are reasonably large, Western Power has been deliberately using unfair go-slow tactics to demoralise the claimants with the aim of minimising payouts? Mr F.M. LOGAN

I hope that that is not the case. I have assured the member that I will follow up this matter. However, I would expect that in its normal business practices Western Power would not do that.
