BANKSIA HILL DETENTION CENTRE — MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM

1333. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer to media reporting regarding the creation of a multidisciplinary team to identify impairments in young people who are accommodated at Banksia Hill Detention Centre, and I ask:

(a)  when is it anticipated this team will be operational; and

(b)  would the Minister please advise the composition of the team, including:

MEN’S SHEDS OF WA

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.45 pm]: I rise to make some comments about what is happening with the men’s sheds movement at the moment, particularly the uncertainty being faced by Men’s Sheds of WA, which is the peak body in Western Australia that oversees what is happening with the men’s sheds. The concerns are that they seem to be falling through the cracks in the issuing of funding. At the moment it is guaranteed only until the end of the year, which will be a problem.
