Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 925 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 17 November 2020 by Ms M.J. Davies

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

PRIMARY INDUSTRIES WORKERS REGIONAL TRAVELAND ACCOMMODATION SUPPORT SCHEME

925. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:

I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier consider convening a regional labour task force to respond to this growing crisis that is impacting on the productivity and safety of these vital industries, both now and in the coming months; and, if not, why not?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

We will continue to work with agricultural industries. The Minister for Agriculture and Food regularly meets with various organisations, such as the Western Australian Farmers Federation and vegetablesWA, and continues to work on these things. I am not sure whether another committee is the solution. The Nationals WA regularly propose setting up more committees, but we are more about action than committees.
