Northern Connector

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:21): Supplementary: when will the minister concede that the great majority of people in the northern suburbs are at very close proximity to that project? The question I asked was: you are only saying 50 per cent—you are aiming for only 50 per cent. Why don't you concede that the workforce is right there next to the project?

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) (15:21): I thank the honourable member for the question. I challenge him to name anything that his mob has ever done where they have aimed for 50 per cent.
