IRON ORE EXPORT VOLUMES — 2014–15
STATE BUDGET
780. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON to the
Premier:
I have a supplementary question. As the Premier says, this is
our iron ore. From now on, is the Premier going to restrict the volume of iron
ore exported from Western Australia?

AnswerView source ↗

What—close the port? No, of

curtail exports!
Mr
P. Papalia interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Warnbro, I call you to order for the second time.
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : However, as Premier of Western Australia and Minister for
State Development, I have certainly sent a signal to the companies of the
expectation of the Western Australian government.
