HON ALISON XAMON (East Metropolitan) [11.36 am]: The Greens (WA) also support the Mines Safety and Inspection Amendment Bill 2009. It is a very positive initiative that is long overdue, and we welcome it. We believe that the idea of cost recovery from the mining industry for the purpose of regulating the industry and ensuring worker safety is heading down the right path. The mining industries in Western Australia have done very well for themselves over the past decade and, despite the global financial crisis, they are still doing relatively well.
