AnswerView source ↗
The member for Mitchell represents a constituency that is experiencing extremely rapid growth. The member will be aware that the rebuilding of Carey Park Primary School is nearly completed. There is demand for extra educational facilities in that area. It is a regional area, and one would expect that many sites are available; however, there is a shortage of suitable sites for both Bunbury Community School and the Djidi Djidi Aboriginal School. Mr Carpenter: What will you do about it? Mr BARNETT: I am going there again tomorrow with the member for Mitchell. Mr Ripper: Will you ask him to withdraw his condemnation of you? Mr BARNETT: No, I do not think that is necessary. Mr Carpenter: He is used to it! Mr BARNETT: Yes, I am used to it. I will visit the area with the member for Mitchell and the member for Bunbury. We will meet with the school communities and try to resolve the situation so that all schools in that area have an assured future. Some sites are available, but they are unacceptable to the Aboriginal community for various cultural reasons. It is a difficult issue, but will be sorted out.
