NATURE POSITIVE —
COMMONWEALTH REFORM
107. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Can
the Premier assure the house that he will commit to lobbying his colleagues in
Canberra to ensure that any overhaul of this federal legislation will not
threaten Western Australian jobs and industry?

AnswerView source ↗

We always engage deeply with the
commonwealth and work closely with the Albanese government on any issue that
impacts Western Australia. That is why we have been in the fortunate position
to have such great outcomes. Of course, the Minister for Housing has highlighted
that just three weeks ago, we announced with the Albanese government the
construction of 219 units as part of our important work in the housing sector.
We continue to work with the Albanese
government around the national housing reform program. We continue to work with
the Albanese government around reforms across all sectors of the economy
to make sure we do the right thing by the people of Western Australia. We will
always do what is right for WA. As a result, we are working closely with the
Albanese government to produce great outcomes, something members opposite never
did in government.
