LIVE EXPORT — FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY
364. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I refer to the savage attacks on Western
Australia's $136 million live sheep trade by the federal Labor
government.
(1) What contact has the Premier had
with live exporters since the federal election?
(2) What
representations has the Premier made to his federal Labor colleagues to stand
up for WA and have this policy overturned?
Mr M.
McGOWAN replied:
(1)–(2) I
think the Prime Minister has indicated that the policy, or the federal
government's approach, will remain as is for the duration of this term
of government.
