660. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
What, if any, consultation or support has been offered to these staff who have
now endured nine months of uncertainty, as this government chopped and changed
its mind about the future of these camps?

I remember when the Leader of the
National Party was the Minister for Water. There were hundreds of employees out
there that she was dismissing and making redundant and she showed no interest
in them whatsoever. Remember, there were 400 or so out there! She did not care!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Leader of the
National Party, I call you to order for the first time.
Mr
M. McGOWAN : There were 400 of
them out there and the Leader of the National Party could not have cared less!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members for
North West Central and Warren–Blackwood, I call you to order. This is
not a shouting match.
Mr M. McGOWAN : She could not
have cared less about those Water Corporation employees. As I said, these staff
were offered redundancy opportunities if they like, and they are offered a transfer
in accordance with the ordinary business of government.
