ASSET SALES — FREMANTLE PORT
342. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Treasurer:
I ask a supplementary question. Is
it not the case that the Treasurer is not doing his job protecting the
interests of importers and exporters and, I might add, consumers, because he is
too busy undermining the Premier?

Mr Speaker —
Mr
D.A. Templeman interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Mandurah, I call you to order for the first time. I have
given you a lot of leeway.
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : On the contrary, we are starting policies that will fund the
outer harbour and we are starting policies that will move livestock to the
outer harbour. We are funding to places so that into the future we will have a means
to fund the expansion in the outer harbour that will be cost effective and not
put additional imposts on shippers and users of the port, like Labor's
policies will do.
