(1) Racing and Wagering Western Australia has advised that between 2 and 15 April of this year, a communication fault occured with the Quokka Arms TAB terminal, which rendered the service inoperative during that period. This fault required the assistance of Telstra technicians to diagnose the fault. To provide a more reliable service on Rottnest Island, a second betting terminal has now been located at the hotel.
