At the beginning of 2009, the Minister announced a review of the WA Seniors Cards. The review was to be completed and made available to the public by the end of June 2009, so I ask:
(a) has the review of the WA Seniors Card been completed; and
(i) if so, when will the review be made available to the public and will this be a draft for comment or the final recommendations;
(ii) if not, when will the review be completed; and
(b) will the review address the long-standing issues over eligibility for British Retired Visa Holders in Western Australia?
