WESTPORT PROJECT
294. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Given the huge cost blowouts that we are seeing
in major projects in Western Australia, will the Premier consider splitting
the transport and treasury portfolios to ensure that they have separate
ministers?

AnswerView source ↗

We will shortly hear from the most
qualified Treasurer in Australia as she delivers her first budget, which will
do three things. It will present significant cost-of-living relief for Western Australians.
We know our economy is strong but there are those who are doing it tough, and
we will make sure that we support them. It will provide significant investment
to make sure that we resolve the issues around the housing challenges that we
have in our community and are shared with communities around the world and the
country. Of course, there will also be significant investment that will
continue to make Western Australia's healthcare system the best in
Australia.
