AnswerView source ↗

That is an ongoing process that we are working through the system. Mr M.P. Whitely : Tell us about what you’ve done so far. Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : That is what it is all about. Mr P. Papalia : Have you done anything? Have you done anything to ensure that they are following those recommendations in the Keelty report? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I am telling the member that there are recommendations about WALGA and WALGA’s response to that report. WALGA is an independent body from me; I have no direction over WALGA. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I formally call you to order for the first time today. Many people are interested in answering questions on behalf of other people in this place.
