AnswerView source ↗
The benefit for the City of Perth
ratepayers is the unlocking of land for the future benefit of the city.
Building an inner-city primary school will have major economic and social
benefits for the city.
Ms R. Saffioti : Only someone
playing politics in everything.
Dr A.D. BUTI : That is right.
I do not know what has happened to the Lord Mayor's position from 19 April
2023 to now. Something must have changed. I do not know what has changed, but
something has changed. Maybe the member for Vasse knows what has changed; I am
not quite sure.
Does the member think that as the
state Minister for Education, my priority should be the taxpayers of Western Australia
or the ratepayers of the City of Perth? What is my priority? Is it to protect
the taxpayers of Western Australia? In any
case, the residents and the ratepayers of the City of Perth will gain a substantial
benefit from this—a first-class education facility and the
unlocking of land for future economic benefits for the City of Perth. The
member should be ashamed of asking such a question as the shadow Minister for
Education in Western Australia.
