Phillips, Y. ‘MPs Back Retirees in Village Bullying,’ The West Australian, June 21, 2008, p. 65.

The report recommended changes to the existing legislation to protect retirees and ordered the Planning and Infrastructure Minister to provide a penalty when a person offers false or misleading information in support of a building proposal.
