I have a supplementary question. The Premier says he is sure about the Broome port. When will he fund it? Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

The Leader of the National Party may think he is on a winner with that issue. We know what the requirements of Western Australian ports are. This Government is significantly investing in ports throughout Western Australia without any assistance from the federal authorities. The Parliament and the people of Western Australia can rest easy knowing that we will make sure that our infrastructure is in place. We have a $3.3 billion infrastructure program that is being funded by the good financial discipline of our government system. We will make sure that the problems we inherited from the previous Government are fixed under our stewardship.
