Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr AH KIT - 2001-10-24

SUPPLEMENTARY ANSWER

Mr AH KIT (Transport and Infrastructure Development): Madam Speaker, I seek your permission to provide a short response to the question from the member for Goyder.

Madam SPEAKER: You have time to respond to the question, yes.

Mr AH KIT: Thank you very much. The matter is in court. My department was notified on 17 July that there was a bushfire in the McHenry Road vicinity.. There is a legal argument happening on how that fire started. My department feels that it was not the power lines that caused that. There are some residents in that area - one in particular I have written to - who are taking court action as of 16 August. The matter is before the courts and I suppose residents out there will await the outcome of that particular court case.
