On behalf of the Leader of the
House, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1) The draft
reports were distributed to key stakeholders to check factual accuracy. This
did not include the Minister for Environment.
(2) The reports are yet to be considered by cabinet and as
such cannot be commented on at this stage.
(3) The reports
will be considered by government prior to being presented to the State
Emergency Management Committee.
(4) The tabling
of the reports will be considered and determined at a later date.
(5) A range of
financial and other assistance has already been provided to Mr Annamaa and his
family, and to property owners affected by this fire. Further information in
terms of assistance cannot be provided as the report is yet to be considered by
cabinet.
