AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for the question. (1) The assessment will be done by a panel of persons yet to be appointed. Those persons will be of appropriate qualification and the community of Western Australia can have trust in their judgment. (2) My understanding is that the decision on the budget from which the funding allocation will be forthcoming has yet to be determined. The PRESIDENT: I call Hon Simon O’Brien. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN: I gave notice yesterday of a question that I wanted to ask of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. Hon Ken Travers: If it is the question about Stock Road, I still do not have an answer. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN: Yes, it is the question on planning control area No 80. Hon Ken Travers: I do not have an answer. The PRESIDENT: Does the member have another question? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN: The same minister answered another question yesterday. I do not know why we cannot get an answer to this question. I do have another question.
