PERTH — ECONOMIC
REGENERATION
777. Mr D.C. NALDER to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the Premier now admit that the
Treasurer has the economic policy settings wrong in Western Australia and heed
the ongoing calls of the opposition to stimulate the economy, including a moratorium
on the foreign investor surcharge and reversing the ill-conceived migration
changes?

The Treasurer is sitting right
there. I can see him. I learnt yesterday that he has received three questions
this year from the shadow Treasurer. That is worthy of some sort of analysis:
how many questions has the shadow Treasurer asked
of the Treasurer? That would be some sort of a record. The shadow Treasurer has
asked the Treasurer three questions this year. Clearly, the shadow
Treasurer is frightened of him.
This government is known for its
careful management of the state's finances to repair the damage that we
inherited.
Mr D.C. Nalder interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Bateman!
Mr
M. McGOWAN : We are aware of the
economic issues out there; hence, we have created over 50 000 jobs since we have been in office.
Mr D.C. Nalder interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Bateman, I call you to order for the first time. I have warned you three times.
Mr M. McGOWAN : We are
continuing to listen to the business community and the broader community about
initiatives that might need to be taken. That will be an ongoing process for
the government.
