Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 703 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 June 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

RECREATIONAL VESSEL SAFETY EQUIPMENT REVIEW

703. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I ask this question on behalf of Hon Simon O'Brien, who is away on urgent parliamentary business.

I refer to my question without notice 654, notice of which was given on 18 June 2020, seeking information about the second round of community consultation on the ''Recreational Vessel Safety Equipment Review: Position Paper—October 2019''. Although I appreciate that the government is still considering its position on these matters, I again ask the straightforward question that was not answered at that time. What percentage of survey respondents supported each of the prospective proposals?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for Transport.

Although the survey results indicated broad support for the majority of proposals, the Department of Transport is taking account of the qualitative responses to its proposals, as well as the quantitative responses when they have been provided. It is relevant, for example, whether those who did not support a proposal wished it to be more or less onerous than what was proposed. The minister will therefore provide more detail of the community response when it can be provided with the department's and the external reference group's analysis and recommended response to that feedback.
