I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The media
statement was given to Fairbridge WA, Family Support WA Inc and ABC Radio on
Friday, 7 September 2018. It was circulated to statewide media on Saturday, 8 September
2018.
(2) The media statement was uploaded
to the website on Monday, 10 September 2018.
(3) As has always
been the case, government media statements are manually uploaded to the website
by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. Media statements distributed on a
weekend are uploaded when DPC staff return to work on Monday morning.
(4) The
announcement of Fairbridge WA and Family Support WA Inc as the preferred
operators of the six camp schools and Landsdale Farm School was the outcome of
the tender process run by the Department of Education. The formal agreement
with the two operators will be in the form of a lease, the details of which
will be finalised over the next few months. This is normal practice for this
type of procurement process.
(5) Not applicable.
