QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Ainslie Transfer Station
MS FOLLETT: My question is to Mr Duby, the Minister for Finance and Urban Services. Can the Minister inform the Assembly whether he has ever been to the Ainslie Transfer Station?
MR DUBY: I thank Ms Follett for the question. The short answer to the question is yes, I have on many occasions. As I said in a radio interview last week, I regard the unpleasant duty of going to a tip as being made especially pleasant by the arrangements which were in place, as of yesterday, at the Ainslie Transfer Station. As most people are aware - and I am going to beat them to the punch - it was bitumenised and it was virtually an all-weather tip where people could go and dump their rubbish and garden cuttings into bins to be taken away for further disposal. But the brief answer is yes, I have.
Preschools
MRS NOLAN: Mr Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts in his role as Minister for Education. I refer the Minister to comments by Dr John Thompson on the Pru Goward show on ABC radio on 24 April 1990. Does the Government intend to close 51 preschools, as alleged by Dr Thompson?
