464. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. How
is it appropriate or fair that the government supports a bikie-backed CFMEU,
receiving a 25 per cent pay rise on WA government projects, when it has given
nurses a comparatively paltry nine per cent?

AnswerView source ↗

I am not sure what that has to do
with the initial question, but I will endeavour to answer it. If the member
opposite has any evidence of misconduct, unlawful behaviour or behaviour
contrary to the laws of the land in relation to a union activity, she should
come forward with those accusations and deliver them to the appropriate
authorities.
