FREMANTLE PORT AUTHORITY — KWINANA BULK
TERMINAL JETTY
705. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Ports:
I have a supplementary
question. Given that these restrictions have existed for many months, the fire
was eight months ago and the importance of this facility to our state
economy, why has the minister not insisted on a clear plan and timeline for
repairs, which is what I asked?

I think I just gave a clear plan. We are working on a business
case to expand Kwinana bulk jetty, and that will be dealt with in the ordinary
course of business. I am glad I got a supplementary question, because we know
what the Liberal Party and Nationals WA plan for Fremantle port is. We have
some green Hansard books up the back there. If the member has a look at
what happened in this chamber on 18 May 2016, he will see that the
then-government introduced a bill to sell Fremantle port. That is the
opposition's plan, supported by —
Several members interjected.
Mr D.R. MICHAEL : The previous government spent $25
million on that plan, and the introduction of that legislation to sell Fremantle port was supported by the Nationals WA and
the Liberal Party. That included three members here. Three members in
this chamber today supported the first reading of the bill to sell Fremantle
port. Check Hansard . We know what the Liberal Party's plan is.
We have a plan for the Fremantle Port Authority and we have a
plan for the Fremantle port itself, the inner harbour. Amazing work is being
done on the Westport plan, and I will have more to say about that as we go
forward. Again, we have a plan to upgrade Kwinana bulk jetty.
The SPEAKER : That concludes question time.
