AnswerView source ↗
I have used both my opportunities to
speak with the Prime Minister on these things in formal opportunities. We have
made a formal proposition to the federal government review. The Minister for
Agriculture and Food has also been in constant contact with her counterpart in
Canberra to make it clear what Western Australia's attitude is on these
things. We will continue to advocate for Western Australian farmers. Our
agriculture industry is an important part of our economy.
Mr P.J. Rundle : When's
it going to release the report?
Mr R.H. COOK : When will the
federal government release it? I do not know. That is a matter for the federal government. The member would be better off getting
his colleagues in Canberra to ask that question. I know that the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Hon Jackie Jarvis, will be raising these issues
regularly with her federal counterpart.
