Barry Haase (Kalgoorlie, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Roads and Transport) Share this | Hansard source

My question is directed to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. In a motion appearing on the Notice Paper in the minister’s name calling on the House to support borrowing for his nation building for recovery program, every electorate in Australia is listed, except Kalgoorlie. Will the minister explain to the House and the hardworking people of the electorate of Kalgoorlie why they, when they represent the current powerhouse of the nation and make up 91 per cent of Western Australia and nearly one-third of the Australian landmass, have been excluded from the minister’s list?
