The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:27): Supplementary: which league tables are we at the bottom of as a state?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:27): There are a number of indicators where we have the lowest population growth; the lowest employment growth; we have low growth in visitor numbers and economic activity—there is a range of them. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say the 'bottom of the league tables' but we are behind on a lot of national indicators. Something that this government is focused on is trying to get us back to the top or close to the top.
