LAND
FORCES 2016 EXPO
683. Mr P.C. TINLEY to the Minister for
State Development:
I refer to the Land Forces 2016 expo
held in Adelaide last week—a leading defence expo for the Australia and

represented at this expo?
(2) Why is the
minister not fighting for Western Australian jobs in this sector, as other
state governments are doing?
