Balga Works Program

BALGA WORKS PROGRAM - FUNDING

Shadow Education Minister Peter Collier asked, 'On Notice', in December 2006, the same questions of the Ministers [or their Upper House representatives] responsible for 42 Government Departments. The following replies were given in Parliament on 1 and 3 May 2007.

The reader can decide if anyone actually answered the questions fully. The only positive responses are from Question # 4484, to the Minister for Child Protection, and Question # 4488, to the Leader of the House representing the Premier, and one "the response will be forthcoming" (Question #4521).

Note: Three more replies became available on 8 - 9 May 2007. Have a look at the one from the Department of Education and Training!
