I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The honourable member may have his preselection,
but Hon Matthew Swinbourn and I do not, so if he could please refer to us as ''honourable
members'' as opposed to his friends as we still need to get our
preselection sorted!
On behalf of the Minister for
Transport, I provide the following answer.
(1)–(3) There
are 162 full-time equivalents employed by Alstom at the Bellevue facility. The
Metronet C-series railcar program is also supporting jobs at 15 local
businesses across Western Australia that supply railcar components. Alstom has
indicated that most employees are Western Australian residents, with workers
from overseas only used depending on skill requirements at any given time.
