Bullsbrook quarantine facility—New prison
206. Mr Adam Hort to
the Premier:
I have a
supplementary question.
When is the
government planning on consulting with the people of Bullsbrook about the
potential for a prison in their community?

AnswerView source ↗

You need to have—
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members!
Mr Roger Cook: There has to be a proposal in order to
consult about that proposal. There is no proposal in front of the government at
the moment. Conversations continue to be held with a range of stakeholders and
governments. As I emphasise, this is a Commonwealth government facility, not a
state government facility. We will continue to be part of those conversations.
