Thank you, member for Perth, for your question. We are
behaving a bit like schoolkids on the last day before school holidays and
everyone is a bit rowdy. Over the winter recess a number of significant events
will occur, not the least of which is the member for Girrawheen's
birthday tomorrow. I would like to wish the member for Girrawheen a happy
birthday for tomorrow.
Ms M.M. Quirk :
Thank you.
Mr J.M. FRANCIS : That
is the first major event for the winter recess and I look forward to seeing her
tomorrow and spending some quality time with her at the firefighter academy.
On 11 July we are going to have Small Business Day. I would
like to place on the record the efforts of Nicolle Jenkins and Kitty Prodonovich
for driving Western Australia's Small Business Day. It is an
opportunity for every one of us to go out into our communities and to think big
and shop small, to support small businesses by helping them wherever we can on
that day, Saturday 11 July; helping small business and thinking about the
contribution that they make to the Western Australian economy. There are now
211 658 registered small businesses across the state of Western Australia. They
make up 97 per cent of all registered small businesses across the state. They
make a significant contribution to the economy. They have been far more
resilient in the past 12 months than big businesses.
Mr D.J. Kelly : Big
electricity bills, big water bills, small business.
Mr J.M. FRANCIS :
They do not like talking about small business, Mr Speaker—we do. We
want to go out there over the recess and support small business and say to them
that we recognise the sacrifices and the risks—all the things they do
to create jobs, employment opportunity and wealth for other people in the state
of Western Australia. We want to thank them for their efforts. Small Business
Day is on 11 July.
