Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 713 asked in the Legislative Council on 29 August 2018 by Hon Colin Holt

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

DUTIES AMENDMENT (ADDITIONAL DUTY FOR FOREIGN PERSONS) BILL 2018

713. Hon COLIN HOLT to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to comments made by the Leader of One Nation in Western Australia on ABC Radio this morning that his party is in negotiations with the government to amend its foreign buyers duty legislation.

(1) Which members of the government have been negotiating with One Nation about proposed amendments to the bill?

(2) On what date did the negotiations first begin?

(3) What amendments have been proposed by One Nation?

(4) Has the government given any indication to One Nation that there is the possibility of keeping Moora Residential College open and reversing the remaining education cuts?

(5) Have any other arrangements been made with One Nation to keep Moora Residential College open; and, if so, will the minister outline the nature of those arrangements?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(5) The government has discussions with all political parties about its legislation and agenda. I do not intend to disclose with whom those discussions take place, when they are held, or what is discussed. If the member has questions about any amendments that may be proposed by One Nation, I suggest he ask One Nation.
