State Development Bill—Nature positive laws
686. Hon Neil Thomson to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to the Premier's State Development Bill, which was introduced into the other place today.
(1) Has the Premier discussed the Albanese government's planned nature positive laws with the Prime Minister and how they might impact the Premier's bill and its aims to streamline wait times for development in WA?
(2) If yes to (1), what was the nature of those discussions?
(3) If yes to (1), can the Premier table any written agreements by the Albanese government to the state on how nature positive laws will be impacted by the Premier's bill?
Hon Jackie Jarvis replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the Leader of the House, I provide the following response provided by the Premier.
(1) The federal government's previously proposed nature positive laws are not proceeding.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Not applicable.
