LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AMALGAMATIONS — MAYOR OF COCKBURN
752. Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN to the
Minister for Local Government:
I have a supplementary question. The Mayor of Cockburn said
that the decision to carve up Cockburn was based purely on a political decision
by the Premier and some members of the Liberal Party. Did the minister make
such a comment to the Mayor of Cockburn or not, or is the Mayor of Cockburn
lying?
