TEACHER ACCOMMODATION — TAMMIN
I refer to the minister’s answer to my question without notice 111 of 28 February 2008 about the serious shortage of teacher accommodation in Tammin. (1) Is the minister aware that, according to the principal — (a) Government Regional Officers Housing has repeatedly brushed aside requests for one four-bedroom house and two two-bedroom units; (b) the shire wishes to resume the house that it provided to the principal; and (c) maintenance issues with the departmental house provided for the principal, but occupied by a teacher, are endless, and when a recent storm flooded the house, all the occupants had to sleep in one room? (2) Given the recent allocation of $60 million to roll out 200 prefabricated houses in rural areas, will the minister urgently arrange for prefabricated houses to be provided for Tammin teachers; and, if not, why not? Hon SUE ELLERY
