Mr Lucas— Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Will the Leader of the Government please control himself? The Hon. Mr Lucas has the floor. The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I'm not sure why the minister would ask that question, Mr President; it is clearly contrary to standing orders. My supplementary question is: is the minister indicating that, for example, the economic forecasting section of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet was not consulted on the 15,000 job growth target that he agreed to as part of the Northern Economic Plan? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:45): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question arising from the original answer given and for his chastising of his colleagues, who do not seem to understand the standing orders as well as he does. I thank him for that as well. In relation to that target, it is an aim of the partners in that group. There was consultation from many areas—not just of state government but local government—that had input into the plan. There was a steering group that consisted of a wide range of government departments that had input into the plan, into various sectors of the plan. This is an aim of those partners to the plan.
