LABOR PARTY — ELECTION COMMITMENTS
1080. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Treasurer:
I ask this question on behalf of Hon Michael Mischin, who is
on urgent parliamentary business.
(1) Has the
Treasurer discussed with the Premier any proposal for a 2021 election
equivalent of the 2017 Local Projects, Local Jobs program?
(2) If yes to (1), when and what was the substance of and
conclusions reached in those discussions?
(3) How much
has it been decided that Labor Party candidates will be able to pledge when
campaigning for the 2021 election?
(4) Have those
pledges been accommodated in the 2020–21 budget?
The PRESIDENT: Minister for Environment, the questions
about what Labor candidates are doing is outside the purview of the minister
that you are responsible for, in terms of the answer.
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
Thanks very much, Madam President. I have been provided with
an answer from the Treasurer, so I will give that answer, but I note your
advice.
(1)–(4)
Commitments by Labor candidates at the 2021 state election are a matter for the
Western Australian Labor Party.
