Local MP yet to see Ice Inquiry results MEMBER for Dubbo Dugald Saunders has revealed he is yet to see the results of the Ice Inquiry which was handed down to the Governor on January 28. It comes after the Shadow Minister for Health Ryan Park fired shots at the state government earlier this week for not making the report available to the public immediately. Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News, “I am expecting to see the report in the coming weeks and all decisions will be based on what is supplied within that report.” Mr Saunders expects a rehabilitation or detox centre within the Dubbo electorate will be recommended in the report.

seas,” Mr Katter told Dubbo Photo News, pointing to the need for a collective of minor parties and independent MPs to offer some defence against monopolies and rampant free market forces.
