In the Premier’s 21 October 2010 statement to Parliament, the day before the Singapore Stock Exchange publicly announced their move to take over the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), the Premier stated he met with the head of the Singapore Stock Exchange to outline commercial opportunities in Western Australia, particularly for the many banks and financial institutions investing out of Singapore, and I ask:
(a) was the Premier informed during his Singapore visit of the move on the ASX; and
(b) given the Premier’s contradictory statements against foreign investment in Woodside, can the Premier outline exactly what Western Australian sectors and Western Australian companies he is encouraging Singapore-based investors to invest in?
