Defence industry—Henderson Defence Precinct
752. Hon Dr Brian Walker to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer the Premier
to his announcement over the weekend that facilities at the Henderson site are
to be made available for the ongoing maintenance of warships.
(1) With whom did the state government consult
before making this decision?
(2) What impact is the decision likely to have for
security at the new Westport container port, and was that taken into account
prior to the announcement?
(3) Will the planned expansion require any land to
be transferred from state to federal control and, if so, will the Premier
provide a list of such proposed transfers?
(4) How does the Cook Labor government respond to
claims that it is painting a massive target across coastal Western Australia
should hostilities break out between the United States Department of War and
any of our neighbours?
