I thank the member
for the question and congratulate her on a hard-fought win in the seat of
Dawesville.
We begin the 42nd
Parliament amid a period of global uncertainty. No country on earth is
completely immune to the decisions being made on the other side of the world
today. These factors are beyond our control, but what we do know is that the
Western Australian economy is up to the challenge. We are facing the challenge
from a position of strength. We have the strongest economy in the country, the
best employment figures in the country and the clearest plan to grow our
economy by making more things here. Right now, our Made in WA plan is more
important than ever. In the face of uncertainty, we will double down on our
efforts to diversify our economy and to make more things in WA, and these
policies that we took to the election will protect local jobs by making our
economy more resilient. We will do this by investing in our local manufacturing
capabilities, training our workforce in the skills of the future, backing the
industries and projects that help to create quality jobs in our state, grasping
the opportunities before us and ensuring that everyone has a chance to prosper.
Made in WA is not the easy path, but it is the path that our kids and their
kids will be grateful that we took. By following our plan, we will keep our
economy the strongest in the nation. We can make more things here and put
manufacturing back into the heart of the WA economy. We can make WA a renewable
energy powerhouse, deliver the infrastructure and services we need, create more
jobs and restore pride in the words "made in WA".
Made in WA is a
vision for our state that looks beyond the next election cycle. It is a plan
for our kids and their kids. I am grateful for the support we have received
from the Western Australian community to deliver on Made in WA. I have great
faith in our state. We are so fortunate to possess a trifecta of economic
stability, quality of life and sensible governance—increasingly rare
qualities in our current global climate. Our plan will ensure that our state
can continue to thrive in an evolving and, quite frankly, disturbing global
economy.
