PILBARA — FEDERAL
ELECTION
376. Hon JACQUI BOYDELL to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I
refer to comments by WA Labor's candidate for Durack, Sharyn Morrow, on
ABC North West WA radio on 22 March, when she claimed that cuts to
education and health funding in the Pilbara are impacting upon the quality of
life.
(1) What health funding has been cut
in the Pilbara?
(2) What education funding has been
cut in the Pilbara?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
As per Legislative Assembly standing
order 75(1), the Premier is not able to answer the question as it does not
relate to actions or decisions as a sworn minister of the Crown. I suggest the
member direct her questions to either Ms Morrow or WA Labor.
