AnswerView source ↗
I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for the question.
(1)–(2) I
know that a good budget platform for Western Australia will support regional
development and will support a good outcome for people who live in regional Western
Australia. As far as the National Party is concerned, I absolutely support the
position that the National Party leader is taking to the people of Western Australia,
because we believe we need to take a position that supports a good budget
outcome because that will support what is an outstanding program for regional Western
Australia; that is, the royalties for regions program, which is making a difference
to regional Western Australia.
