MIGRATION — PERTH
— REGIONAL STATUS
799. Mr S.K. L'ESTRANGE to the Premier:
Whilst the Treasurer is not feeling
loved, I am. I thank the Labor Party for the lovely birthday card today and
that lovely picture of a quokka the Minister
for Tourism put in it. I also wish the member for Murray–Wellington a lovely birthday on this very special day.
Two
of the Premier's cabinet colleagues have said in this place that they
think reinstating Perth's regional migration status is a dumb

reinstated?
