611. Dr M.D. NAHAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Given all the bungles and backflips in the education portfolio, will the
Premier update the house on Labor's $280 million in total cuts to the
education portfolio, and explain to the people of Western Australia why they
were not told about these cuts before the March 2017 election?

Is it any wonder the Leader of the
Opposition left the state with $40 billion worth of debt, if that is his
reading of the budget. The education budget is going up! Therefore, members
opposite will find that all over regional, remote and metropolitan Western Australia,
education services are being improved under this government.
