CEDUNA QUARANTINE STATION

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:16): Given the high temperatures experienced at Ceduna at this time of the year, will the minister report back to the council before the end of the sittings this year in relation to moving those staff out of the converted container?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:17): As I said, I will look into that matter and assess what is going on. I have given a commitment to take appropriate action as soon as possible. I understand that some negotiations are going on with Western Australia about perhaps moving the facility. I do not know exactly where they are up to, and I am happy to find out that information and bring that detail back to the chamber.
