HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.40 pm]: I rise to speak about the opening of the official memorial at Solidarity Park for the victims of Wittenoom, which I attended on Saturday along with a number of members of the ALP, including some ministers, and my colleague Hon Tim Clifford. I note that you, Madam President, spoke at the event and played an official role.
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.
