I take the question in the spirit I
am sure that it was intended, and that is: are we assisting the federal
government? Obviously, when the federal government makes its decision or
consults in relation to that, we would be keen to participate in that process. Western Australia is the engine room for the
country. For that reason, what happens in WA or, in this context,
offshore, is an important aspect of making sure that the nation's
economy stays strong, which is the reason we made these representations to the
federal government. Minister King is one of the most skilled and adept ministers in the federal government and we are lucky
to have her on our team in Western Australia. For that reason, I will
always make the resources of the government available to the federal government
in terms of these things, but I reckon she has this one.
