714. Hon ROBIN SCOTT to the minister
representing the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade:
In answering question without notice
698 on Tuesday, 28 August 2018, the minister confirmed that Western Australia's
Agent General in London has been instructed to persuade multinational
engineering companies to make Perth their southern headquarters, and stated
that the government expects both metropolitan and regional Western Australia to
benefit from this initiative from the McGowan Labor government. Will the
minister explain why the decision has been made to persuade international
engineering and logistics companies to set up in Perth instead of encouraging
those companies to establish their Southern Hemisphere headquarters in Broome,
Port Hedland or Karratha?
