SWIMMING POOL SAFETY

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): Could the minister provide figures to the council of the number of properties that have been sold since the legislation came into effect where pool fences had to be fitted before the properties were sold; and who has been enforcing that?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:05): Whether those statistics are recorded in that way, I am not sure. Obviously the onus is on householders to ensure that they meet those requirements. If there are any statistics available, I will be happy to provide them to the honourable member.
