NATIONAL PARTY COMMITMENTS
546. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the Leader of the House representing the Premier :
I refer to the
announcements by Hon Brendon Grylls, MLA, on Saturday of a $150 million
goldfields strategic development plan; an increase in the Country Age
Pension Fuel Card ; and a new regional
cities initiative.
(1) Are these formal
commitments of the Liberal–National government?
(2) Does the Liberal
Party support each of these proposals?
(3) Will the cost of each of these proposals
be included in the 2012–13 midyear review of state finances due to be
released in December 2012?
(4) If no to (3), why
not?

Good try! I thank the
member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(4) The announcements are
National Party commitments that they would seek to implement in government
after the next election.
Several members
interjected.
The PRESIDENT : Order! If everyone is right, we will
proceed.
