South-East Region

The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:00): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development regarding South-East school infrastructure.

Leave granted.

The Hon. B.R. HOOD: As the minister knows, development in our regions is dependent on quality infrastructure, whether that be public transport or other things, including that of our state schools. My question to the Minister for Regional Development is: has the minister met with any schools in her home region of the South-East to discuss any significant infrastructure concerns they are facing and, if so, when?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his question. I frequently meet with people across the region, including those involved in our school system. In terms of specifics, obviously the Minister for Education has a direct role in the sorts of matters that the member is referring to.
