WASTE COLLECTION

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:10): Is the minister aware that Prospect council, just this week, has announced that it also will be moving to a fortnightly collection regime, not as a trial but as an ongoing practice?

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) (15:10): If members want to continue to waste the time of this chamber, I am more than happy to stand up and to keep reiterating that that is no longer my responsibility. Irrespective of what Prospect has done in relation to a future waste trial, it is not my responsibility, and if the member has any questions on that I am happy to refer those questions to the appropriate minister, the Hon J. Weatherill, in another place and bring back a response.
