Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1080 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 October 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

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.
