    Legislative Council Thursday, 26 May 2011 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House) took the chair at 10.00 am, and read prayers. TRANSPERTH CONTRACTS — BUS OPERATIONS STAFF Petition Hon Ken Travers presented a petition, by delivery to the Clerk, from 151 persons regarding the lack of concern for the wellbeing of Transperth bus operators. [See paper 3341.] SKILLED LOCAL JOBS BILL 2011 Petition HON JON FORD (Mining and Pastoral) [10.02 am]: I present a petition with 133 signatures, which is couched in the following terms — To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned residents of Western Australia say the WA Parliament should pass laws that ensure a greater share of skilled engineering and fabrication work for our major resources projects is performed in Western Australia. Our major resources projects are increasingly sending their skilled work offshore. Many of Western Australia’s fabrication workshops are almost empty and our engineers have to go overseas if they want to help design our LNG projects. Our natural resources can only be used once and we should use the current resources construction boom to provide training and apprenticeships for our young people, so that they can have a future after the boom. Your petitioners therefore respectfully request the Legislative Council support the Skilled Local Jobs Bill 2011 with the objective of ensuring a greater share of skilled work for our major resources projects is performed in Western Australia. And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray. [See paper 3335.] Hon JON FORD: Mr President, I also present a similar petition containing 395 signatures.
