I refer to statements made by the Premier, indicating the State of Emergency is likely to continue beyond July. I also refer to the State Government's announced spending on tourism as part of the $185m 'Reconnect WA package', and I ask for an explanation on how the promotion of tourism, with interstate and international visitors, is not contrary to the conditions required under section 56 of the Emergency Management Act 2005 ?
