SWIMMING POOL SAFETY

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:06): The minister indicated that he would be monitoring the figures, and now he says that he does not know whether the statistics exists. Could the minister please explain how he intended to monitor the number of houses that have been sold and the effectiveness of the legislation?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:06): We can certainly do that by contacting the real estate agents and others around there to, first of all, get their feedback in relation to the rules, and we can get feedback from those relevant quarters as to how effective it has been.
