Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

The Australian government is resolved to honour its commitments to the WA government, whoever won the last WA election; and we will do it. The reason for this is that the WA government is actually in the business of rolling up its sleeves and making projects work. That is why this government is working effectively with them. I also draw the honourable member’s attention to the fact that, on the broader question of economic policy, the WA Treasurer, Mr Buswell, has fully endorsed the overall economic strategy of this government—including its stimulus strategy. We work well with them and will continue to do so into the future.
