The SPEAKER: I am always interested in regional fact-finding reports.

The Hon. S.W. KEY (Ashford) (11:20): This was a very important occasion for the Natural Resources Committee and other members who went on this particular fact-finding trip. Despite the devastation and the dreadful situation, the community in the Pinery area has come through. I am pleased to say that there have been some very positive lessons learnt and also ongoing support for people in that community. I commend the report to the house.
