TREASURER Troy Buswell is an opponent of the Federal Government’s plans to streamline occupational health and safety laws and introduce a national system.
Buswell says the changes would be bad for Western Australia as they would weaken the state’s existing legislation.
But Simone McGurk from Unions WA claims the state hasn’t got the best record on health and safety. She says the fatality rates in the mining industry are example of that.
McGurk wants Buswell to reconsider his position as she says the state still has a long way to go to improve performance and it needs the best possible laws to do that.
