I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1)–(3)
Continuity of fuel supplies is outside the minister's portfolio
responsibilities; however, the minister is concerned about any potential impact
on the state's tourism industry. I understand the Shire of Carnarvon is
dealing with the matter in an appropriate and responsible manner, and is
working towards achieving a solution by February 2014.
