In reference to the Minister’s response to a question asked by the Hon Sally Talbot on 10 November 2009, regarding additional funding to the Household Hazardous Waste Program, I ask -
(1) Has the Minister followed up on her commitment to allocate $1 million for operational aspects of the program?
(2) If yes to (1), will this additional funding be from the existing household hazardous waste budget and does the Minister regard this as sufficient to maintain the operations of the program?
(3) If no to (1), will this funding be sourced from the revenue stream generated by the increase in the WARR Landfill Levy?
(4) If no to (3), why is funding for the program not increasing in line with the increased revenue stream from the Landfill Levy?
(5) Does the Minister expect the household hazardous waste program to continue past 1 January 2010?
