PLAN FOR JOBS —
2019–20 STATE BUDGET
339. Dr M.D. NAHAN to the Premier:
I
refer to CoreData's recent survey that was mentioned in the op-ed in
today's The West Australian , which shows that three in five
people listed jobs as their top priority and that most Western Australians
cannot see any evidence of meaningful change in the government's jobs
plan. Will the Premier guarantee that today's state budget will not
confirm —
Ms J.J. Shaw interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for Swan
Hills, I call you to order for the second time.
Dr M.D. NAHAN : Will the
Premier confirm that today's state budget will not confirm that his
plan for jobs has failed, by once again downgrading forecasts for employment
growth?

I remember one of the opposition's distinguished former Treasurers,
Troy Buswell, saying, ''Two more sleeps'', ''One more sleep'',
or, ''Six more sleeps'' or whatever it was. We have one more
lunchtime, my friend!
