HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [6.15 pm]: I want to make a member’s statement before we go into the winter recess, to draw the attention of members to, and also to place on the parliamentary record, a matter that my office is currently working on, and it is time-sensitive. I refer to the site of the proposed wave park at Alfred Cove.
HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.54 pm]: I rise tonight following the Premier’s formal apology in the other place today to child sexual abuse victims. I am pleased that Western Australia has led the way in delivering an apology. It has certainly been a long time coming. I would like to add the Greens’ voice in recognition of the importance of this issue. We are truly sorry for the horrendous things that children in this state experienced while in the supposed care of trusted institutions.
