UNIONS — COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
515. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the Premier support our currently
competitive mining sector and help prevent a 1980s-style union takeover?

AnswerView source ↗

I always support the mining
industry. I will support all our industries to make sure that Western Australia
continues to be the engine room of the national economy. I will support them to
make sure that they can take confident investment
decisions on their long-term activities so that we can continue to generate Western
Australian jobs because Western Australian jobs keep our community happy
and our economy strong. I will continue to do that. It is the reason I was in
the Pilbara on the weekend. I talked with industry and employers from right
across the Pilbara about the issues that matter most to them and how we can
continue to support them to be leaders and employers to keep our economy strong
and grow Western Australian jobs.
