CORONAVIRUS — WA
RECOVERY PLAN — 2020–21 STATE BUDGET
1060. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Treasurer:
I ask this question on behalf of Hon
Dr Steve Thomas who is on urgent parliamentary business.
I refer to page 27 of state budget
paper No 3 of the 2020–21 state budget released last week, which has a table
outlining the spending of the WA recovery plan. What has been the
spending/revenue forgone to date for each initiative on that list?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank� Hon Steve Thomas for some
notice of the question.
Based on the information available
up to 31 August 2020, almost $1.8 billion has been spent or revenue forgone as
part of the McGowan government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further information will be provided in the 2020–21 midyear review.
