LIVE EXPORT —
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY
62. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. The
Prime Minister had time for a meet and greet in Hyde Park but not to meet with
our farmers. Is kissing babies a higher priority for Labor than standing up for
our live export industry?
Several members interjected.
The DEPUTY SPEAKER : Members,
the question is to the Premier, not the rest of you.

I think the picture that the member
just showed of the Prime Minister was when he was actually meeting people, in
this case families, friends and retail workers.
Mr P.J. Rundle : He didn't
have time to meet Western Australian sheep producers!
Mr
R.H. COOK : What is the member
saying—that he should not meet children and meet representatives of the community?
Several members interjected.
The DEPUTY SPEAKER : Members!
Mr
R.H. COOK : What was great to see
during the Prime Minister's visit was the warm reception he received
from Western Australians, and from Western Australia for that matter—it
was hot! What was great to see is that people in Western Australia understand
that the Prime Minister has got our back. I saw him last night at a function to celebrate the Chinese and Lunar New Year.
Almost a thousand people in the room were cheering the Prime Minister on, acknowledging the great work that he is doing as the leader of our country
to continue to create great Western Australian jobs, continue to build Western Australian
industry and make sure that Western Australia is the engine room of the nation's
economy. We know that he will continue to do that.
