It is amazing! When rents were $2 000-plus a week in Karratha, what did the Labor government do? The silence is absolutely deafening. The former government sat on its hands and did nothing for eight years. The Leader of the Opposition should read the economic audit. I will send him a copy. We are introducing fundamental reform to the way the state government engages with the community in the not-for-profit sector. The budget will be handed down in four weeks and members will see how this government will support that sector in a way that members opposite can only ever have dreamed about.
