PRIME MINISTER — FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY
623. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Federal–State
Relations
I
have a supplementary question. If the Premier is so confident in his
relationship with the Prime Minister and his pro-business claims, why
are business leaders of this nation expressing such concern about the current
government's policies?
Ms R. Saffioti : Why is he
obsessed with the Prime Minister?

I want to echo the interjection from
the Deputy Premier. Why is the member so obsessed with the Prime Minister? Over
the number of times we have come into this place —
Mr R.S. Love : Because of the
damage he is doing to our state.
Mr R.H. COOK : I have just
demonstrated in graphic detail how much the Prime Minister is promoting and
defending the interests of this state. I come into this place and all I constantly
hear from those opposite is some sort of chaotic, dysfunctional and ongoing
monologue of negativity. If it is not coming from the Leader of the Opposition,
it is coming from the Leader of the Liberal Party. When these people are in
government, we shake our heads. If the member wants to get obsessed with
federal politics, we saw the complete dysfunction of the Morrison government.
That was a complete PhD in dysfunction. If we are going to look at national
leaders, I would love to sit down and have a good honest debate about Barnaby
Joyce one day.
I beseech the Leader of the
Opposition to focus on the issues that matter to Western Australians. He should
talk about jobs like we do, talk about industry like we do and talk about the
cost of living like we do; and, for goodness sake,
he should start to support programs and plans to increase housing. That is the
other thing that members opposite do. Members opposite oppose any
housing development that they can find. They are negative, inexperienced,
shambolic, chaotic and dysfunctional.
