FISH KILLS —
JURIEN BAY MARINA
786. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I have a supplementary question.
Given the department has been gathering data on this marina for over five
years, does the minister not think it is now time to use that knowledge to act
and invest some of the $300 million plus unspent royalties for regions funds
that the government is returning to Treasury each year?

All I know is that I go to the
member for Moore's electorate a lot, and we are spending record amounts
in that electorate. The member was in government for eight and a half years,
when it had $8 billion in RforR, and he never prioritised expenditure in his
electorate. Whether it is roads, schools, across the entire area, we have made
record investment in tourism. I know the member for Moore likes coming in and
trying to take cheap shots, but the reality is that on the ground people
understand that Labor is investing in the regions like no-one has ever seen. It
is investing in core infrastructure and addressing the needs of regional Western
Australia.
