PLAN FOR JOBS — TREASURY CONSULTATION
165. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Treasurer:
I refer to the Premier's
aspirational plan to create 150 000 jobs by 2023–24.
(1) Was Treasury
consulted on the plan to create 150 000 jobs by 2023–24; and, if not,
why not?
(2) Did Treasury
undertake any modelling on the Premier's plan to create 150 000 jobs?
(3) If yes to
(2), will the minister table the modelling; and, if not, why not?
(4) If no to (2),
is the Treasurer aware of any modelling in relation to the Premier's
150 000 jobs target?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Yes.
(3) The modelling
indicates that the annual average rate of employment growth needs to lift from
the current 1.3 per cent, as at January 2019, to 1.8 per cent in order to
achieve the target.
(4) Not applicable.
