ELECTRONIC WASTE

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:24): I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. Can the minister guarantee that none of the companies listed as places for disposal on the Zero Waste website are, indeed, shipping materials overseas to be disposed of unethically in developing countries?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (14:25): I am happy to take that question on notice and bring back a response. To the best of my knowledge they are not, but I am happy to check that and bring back a response.
