Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 942 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 September 2020 by Hon Robin Scott

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR — REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA

942. Hon ROBIN SCOTT to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to question without notice 925 asked yesterday about the increase in alcohol abuse and antisocial behaviour in regional WA as a result of the JobSeeker payments. In reply, I was advised that as part of the government's response to the issue, funding for alcohol and other drug prevention officers in all regions in regional Western Australia had been increased.

(1) Which agencies were provided with funding and how much were they given?

(2) How will the government measure the success of these agencies?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

I have been advised by the Mental Health Commission that further time is required to answer this question. The information will be provided to the member by 24 September 2020.
