MINING TAX — NATIONAL PARTY PROPOSAL
519. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Minister for
Regional Development:
I have supplementary question, again
to the Minister for Regional Development about regional jobs. Is the minister
of the view that ripping up state agreements and imposing a discriminatory tax
that will be 90 per cent redistributed to other states will generate jobs in
regional areas?

I do know that the investments we
have made as a Liberal–National government have delivered jobs in
regional Western Australia. I know that we have delivered jobs in regional Western
Australia, and we will continue to do so. I am absolutely certain that as the
National Party takes its positions to the next election, we will deliver on
jobs in regional Western Australia.
