RESOURCES SECTOR — LOCAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier meet with the representatives of this particular group in Bassendean and explain why he is denying them the work and explain to the employees why they do not have work? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗

I am not denying them work. Several members interjected. Mr C.J. BARNETT : I remind members opposite that these are contracts between private companies—mining companies and others. If the member for Willagee would like to bring in a representative of that company, I would be happy to meet with him or her. I do not know the company, but I would be pleased to meet with its representative.
