I refer to the Treasurer's remarks in Parliamentary Question time on the 19 February 2015, when you stated that “if we put together all the major projects under construction in Western Australia that are funded by Government, that equates to the creation of 82,000 jobs”, and I ask: (a) will the Treasurer table a breakdown detailing which relevant government projects and/or programs these jobs relate to; (b) if not, on what basis has the Treasurer determined that the Government has created 82,000 jobs as a result of government-funded construction projects; and (c) will the Treasurer outline over what time frame these 82,000 jobs have been, or will be, created?
