It is understood that the Minister for Racing and Gaming’s office discussed this matter with the Member’s office directly to offer assistance in appropriately directing the Member’s questions, given much of the information sought does not fall under the Minister’s responsibilities.
(a) The restrictions in Fitzroy and Halls Creek have not been amended since their respective introductions in 2007 and 2009. See tabled paper no # for 2007 and tabled paper no # for 2009.
(b) This question would be better directed to the Minister for Health; Mental Health and the Minister for Community Services who have portfolio responsibilities for providing assistance services in Fitzroy and Halls Creek.
(c) This question would be better directed to the Minister for Police, who may be able to provide the data sought.
