CASHLESS DEBIT CARD TRIAL
160. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. In
light of that answer, why did the Premier tell a meeting of goldfields shires
in August 2017 that he would speak to the Prime Minister about expanding the
cashless welfare card trial as quickly as possible?

I do not know which meeting the
member for Central Wheatbelt is referring to. Obviously, there was a different Prime Minister then. I do not know what meeting she
is referring to and I do not know whether I talked to Malcolm Turnbull
about that; the member for Central Wheatbelt might want to ask him.
