LIQUOR LICENSING OFFICERS

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:32): I have a supplementary question. Of all the activities that the minister has just referred to, which ones involve officers from the Liquor and Gambling Commission?

The Hon. G.E. 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) (14:32): The honourable member obviously did not listen, but I will go through it all again. I talked about the Safe Partying Initiative, which includes input; I talked about the negotiations with Coopers and places such as Woolworths, which the office was involved in; I talked about the promotion of the responsible consumption of alcohol messages, which the office has input into; the parents' guide, again, which the office has input into; and I talked about the office being involved in and having input into the development of the alcohol action plan. So, virtually all of the initiatives that I have listed—I did qualify the federal initiatives—the office has in some way had input into. So, the honourable member needs to clean out her ears.
