EXPORT — SHEEP AND GOAT ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
323. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary
question. When will the Premier stand up in a public way and demonstrate to
sheep growers and the supply chain
involved in this industry that he supports it and that he is standing up to the
federal agricultural minister?

I do not know whether the member ever reads The West
Australian or watches the news, but I have spoken in both on the issue. I have
been on Country Hour . I have been on all of them. The member for Roe
needs to retain the information. It is like
year zero; he seems to think that it all starts again. I have been out there. I
am on the record on these issues. The
member does not seem to have noticed. I do not know whether he reads the paper,
watches the news or listens to the radio, but I have been out there on
all these issues. The member said that I have not said anything, but I have. He
does not listen or take in information; he certainly does not retain it.
