REDRESS WA
I refer to the Redress WA scheme. (1) How many Redress WA applications were settled by 19 May 2010, before the state budget was handed down? (2) Of those cases, how many were settled in each of the four levels of abuse? (3) What has been the total payout to Redress WA applicants up to 19 May 2010? The PRESIDENT : Who was that to again, sorry; the Minister for Environment, was it? Hon ALISON XAMON : No; it was to the Minister for Child Protection, Mr President. Is that a second question that has gone astray? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : Mr President, I am sorry; I have not got the answer to that question. Hon ALISON XAMON : Perhaps the minister may be able to answer some elements of it; I understand it requires a level of detail, but perhaps the minister has some knowledge of it. Hon Peter Collier : We can’t hear you, sorry. Hon ALISON XAMON : Perhaps if I could repeat two elements of the question, because I understand that the third one needs to have a bit more background—it would be a question without notice. The PRESIDENT : It was without notice, was it? Hon ALISON XAMON : I had actually submitted it, but it was not received, so I need to ask it without notice. Hon Peter Collier : Can you give us a look at it? Hon ALISON XAMON : Absolutely. The PRESIDENT : Normally, if it has been submitted and an answer is not available, the minister will acknowledge that and provide an answer as soon as it is available. But if the minister wishes to answer it without notice, that is up to her. Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY

AnswerView source ↗

I will answer it because I have it with me. (1) By 19 May 2010, 369 offers were sent out to people. We are expected to have a target of 93 a week and we are trying to meet that. (2)–(3) I do not have answers to the other two elements of the question, but I will endeavour to get the answers for the member.
