          <by role="member" id="3263">The Hon. DAVID WINDERLICH (15:10):</by>  I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister has confirmed her knowledge of the extensive range of allegations, and given that the minister has expressed her concerns about the long-term squabbling in the Burnside council, why did the minister wait until 17 June to initiate a meeting between the Office of State/Local Government Relations and Burnside council?</text>

GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (15:11):</by>  The honourable member has not listened to a word I have said. I thought I had outlined in quite considerable detail the series of actions and investigations undertaken. I would not want to have to repeat myself, although I am happy to do so. As I outlined in what I thought was considerable detail, there has been a series of actions and investigations over a significant period of time, not just involving myself and my agency but also at other jurisdictional levels, such as the police and the Ombudsman's Office.</text>
