I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(2) No.
(3) Short-stay
facilities for Aboriginal people have been built by this government in
Kalgoorlie and Derby and have been a great success in assisting people in need.
I am very interested in more of these being built in appropriate locations in
regional Western Australia such as Geraldton.
