BROOKFIELD MULTIPLEX — LOCAL CONTENT
1019. Mr F.M. LOGAN to the Treasurer:
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister ensure as
part of his explanation that the consortium and Brookfield Multiplex are made
aware that the Perth Airport corporation recently clawed back its tendered
steel contract from China and issued it to a more reliable and competitive WA
company for better quality and delivery times?

AnswerView source ↗

That is not the only organisation to
have done that in recent times. I have heard about that and I have heard of
other firms doing the same thing, particularly in the iron ore industry. They
are recognising, particularly now that there is a great deal of experience out
there, that the local steel fabrication skills are high and respond well, and
it can be short-sighted just to go at price without considering quality and
quantity.
