An amount of $1 billion a year over
the next four years is the biggest amount of money ever to be invested in
regional Western Australia.
Mr
M.P. Murray : That's not what I asked! Answer the question!
The
SPEAKER : Member for Collie–Preston!
Mr
D.T. REDMAN : An amount of $1 billion a year into the royalties for regions
program is the biggest amount of money ever to be invested in regional Western
Australia. The next four years will be significantly better than the past four
years
Mr
M.P. Murray interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Collie–Preston, I call you to order for the
first time. Let the minister answer.
Mr
D.T. REDMAN : I think the position the Liberal–National government
has taken over the past five years has integrity. It is here in black and white
