I refer to the article in The West Australian on 29 March 2013, which stated that the Premier met with the President of Shanghai Zhongfu and the Chief Executive of Kimberley Agricultural Investment (KAI) during his recent trip to China, and I ask: (a) which party requested the meeting and what were their reasons for requesting the meeting; (b) where was the meeting held and on what date; (c) who attended the meeting; (d) what was discussed at the meeting; (e) did the Premier have any discussions regarding using 457 visas to import staff to work on KAI's projects in the Kimberley; and (f) were any changes to the Ord Development Agreement discussed and, if yes, what were the changes discussed?

It is unclear which article the Member is referring to. The West Australian was not published on

However, the Premier did meet with Mr Wu Puingai, the Chairman of the Zhongfu Group in Shanghai on his recent visit to China. An outline of this meeting was provided in a Brief Ministerial Statement to the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday 13 May 2014.
