AGRICULTURE WORKERS
665. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Craig
and Michelle have had their G2G PASS application rejected five times since 7
August. What can be done to ensure that people with a legitimate reason to
enter Western Australia do not have to wait weeks and endure multiple
rejections?

People go through the exemption
process via the WA Police Force. That is what they do. That has been the
situation now for six months.
Ms M.J. Davies interjected.
The SPEAKER : Leader of the
National Party!
Mr M. McGOWAN : Does the
member want us to bring down the border? Is the member's position to
bring down the border?
Ms M.J. Davies : No, Premier.
Mr M. McGOWAN : Okay. Rather
than coming in here and giving me a case with the two first names of people who I have never heard of before, the member gives
me the details and I pass it to the police to analyse, as is the case with the thousands of cases we—all of us—have received that we
pass to the authorities that manage these matters.
