607. Hon
TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
By way of explanation, this question
without notice is a dated question, from 5 April. I advised staff I would be
asking it today. I hope it is in the Leader of the House's pack. I refer
to the Leader of the House's media statement of 26 March 2020, ''Administrative
changes to support COVID-19 response''.
(1) Are the following programs still
on indefinite hold —
(a) the McGowan
government's public sector reform program;
(b) Our
Priorities: Sharing Prosperity;
(c) the strategic
investment in the Perth and Peel regions; and
(d) the
Supporting Communities Forum?
(2) If yes, is this likely to remain
the case under a second-term McGowan government?
