WESTPORT TASKFORCE — ROE 8 AND 9
656. Mrs
L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the Premier now confirm that building the
automated outer harbour is more about undermining Progressive Labor's
port workers and factional base than it is about the best interests of Western Australia?

AnswerView source ↗

That
is a bizarre question. Clearly, the government wants to promote freight and
trade, and jobs in Western Australia . If the Liberal Party wants to run
the Maritime Union of Australia's arguments, go for it.
