I think anyone who tries to draw a parallel between a brickworks and a wind farm should perhaps have a good look at themselves. In Stuart Henry I think the people of Hasluck have the most vigorous and capable representative that they have ever had. He has fought tenaciously for his community. I have responded to every letter from Stuart Henry and his constituents about the proposal. Who have let down their constituents? The WA Labor Party, for keeping secret the fact that they approved the expansion of two brickworks less than a mile from the airport which are pumping toxins into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate—and with no public consultation. The best thing that can happen for the people who live in Stuart Henry’s electorate would be that the WA environment minister ensures that other brickworks meet the very strict standards that are applied by the Commonwealth to the brickworks being built on the Perth airport site.
