WA ‘front and centre’ to Australia’s future agenda for economic growth: Albanese
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Western Australia is “front and centre” to Australia ’s future agenda for economic growth.
Mr Albanese said there is “no state better positioned” to “take advantage of the transition” occurring in the global economy than Western Australia. “Part of that is, of course, our trade, today’s announcement of a 50/50 funding split between the Commonwealth and the WA government to make sure that the planning of all the infrastructure that will be required from Westport to go ahead when it’s road, rail, other infrastructure to make sure we’re ready to go, is an important announcement.
“This is a project that’s been spoken about for a long time, but it’s a project that the Labor government here in conjunction with my federal Labor government is determined to turn into a reality. “With benefit for Western Australia’s regions, with benefit for job creation here both in the construction phase … but also in the longer term by positioning Western Australia to be able to continue to be such an important export destination that produces income for this great state of WA and indeed income for the nation.”
