AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(4) I am aware of the honourable member’s interest in the Albion development. Hon Derrick Tomlinson: I hope you do not mean a vested interest. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: I am aware that these matters have been proceeding for a not inconsiderable time and they are a matter of some angst for our mutual constituents. In fact I anticipate seeing one of them again fairly shortly. I note what the honourable member has said and he will have a considered response very soon.
