LIVE EXPORT —
NORTH EASTERN WHEATBELT REGION OF COUNCILS REPORT
924. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Premier, the second part of the question was: will the Premier meet with representatives from NEWROC to discuss this report
and why its analysis is more comprehensive than the work that has been done by his state government on the true
impact of this disastrous decision by the federal Labor government?

AnswerView source ↗

I stand ready to meet with any
members of the Western Australian community. One of the hallmarks of my
leadership is that I take the opportunity to talk to people every day of the
week.
Mr P.J. Rundle interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr R.H. COOK : I will
endeavour, where possible, to make sure I make myself available to everyone. In
relation to the veracity of their report versus our report, member, that is
just negative nonsense. Our report demonstrates just as much as this other
report, in large part, that it will have a detrimental impact. That is
something that we all acknowledge. It is not a matter of one report versus the
other. We are on a single ticket here. Western Australian government and Western Australian farmers believe
that the decisions the federal government is currently n egotiating over
are unnecessary. We stand by the farmers and by the community of Western Australia
in relation to this issue.
