I have a supplementary question. Can

This
gives me an opportunity to highlight two contributions to this important
debate: one from the Leader of the Opposition and one from the Deputy
Leader of the Opposition. The Leader of the Opposition has said that, as we
enter a period of considerable population growth, the opportunity exists to
inspire even more junior players with a vision of one day playing for a WA NRL
team. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition, who is also the shadow Minister for
Sport and Recreation, encouraged the NRL to favourably consider the case put
forward by Western Australia and to note his support for the Western Australian
bid. He said that our state has the facilities, the talent, the market and the
dedication to field the best team in the league.
I could not agree more. On this last
day of Parliament, we have a moment of unity with members opposite, on the
opportunity to be in the NRL. That is an opportunity that the government is
pursuing, and we will do so in the best interests of Western Australian
taxpayers.
