WESTERN AUSTRALIAN
INSTITUTE OF SPORT — GYMNASTICS PROGRAM
935. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Sport and
Recreation:
I have a supplementary question. I thank
the minister for that response.
Given that the former gymnasts were
promised some action by Christmas this year, which is only three weeks away,
will the minister and the board deliver on this promise?

AnswerView source ↗

The clear commitment that we made
was that we would, essentially, restart a process that had faltered under the
previous board. That has now been achieved. I assure the member that Dr Fong
and the other members of the board who have specific skills in this area,
including Mr Gary Dreibergs, who has extensive experience in restorative justice matters, are well placed to deliver. As I have
said, we need to be very mindful that we are dealing with people whose
mental health and wellbeing need to be considered. We will do that through a process
that is consultative and understanding of that importance.
