We're here at the Alex Hotel in Northbridge, a new hotel development. This is the sort of thing, isn't it, that the State has to look to to develop its economy? 
 What you see here is really the change in Perth. Not only the physical change in buildings and the like, but smaller bars, smaller boutique hotels, arts venues and yes -- that's part of the vibrancy of Perth and it does create jobs. 
 How important do you think tourism is going to be in furthering the economy, given the peak of the mining investment phase has clearly passed? 
 I don't think anyone should dismiss the mining and energy sector, that is going to be the backbone of our economy for probably the next 50 years. However, we are seeing other areas grow. Particularly with population and income growth in Asia, we are seeing a big increase in tourism in Australia and WA is sharing in that.  International education, international health, science and research, they are the new, emerging sectors of our economy.
 Unemployment has inched up over the past 12 months. Katrina King wants to know why there are so many overseas workers still here in WA.  
 (There are) less than there were. And many came out in the peak period of mining activity. But look, overseas visitors, overseas workers, are a driving force of the Australian and particularly the West Australian economy. So we still welcome people, particularly with skills. But the change in the economy does dislocate a lot of people and for older workers it is difficult.   Maybe they are going to have to consider working in different industries, maybe at lower incomes. But unemployment is still comparatively low. It's around 6 per cent. 
 You touched on this, but Stephane Job asks what are you going to do to create jobs for the over-50s? Stephane says for the first time in his life he is unemployed, unable to find a job since   March and he's about to lose his house. 
 I sympathise with him and others in that position. While unemployment is really low by international standards and our economy and employment growth will be strong,  people have really got to be prepared to be flexible, do maybe even a lower skilled job and accept a significantly lower income. 
Do employers need to be more prepared to take a chance on older workers? 
 Many are now, and will take on older, more experienced workers. We do that certainly within the Government sector.  That does require further changes in attitude because experienced workers are good, reliable, steady workers. 
 From Matt Ward, an old favourite. Where is the GST up to? What are you going to do to continue to secure WA its fair share? 
 We continue to fight for that, I've been doing it ever since I became Premier. We have won the argument, no one is now disputing it in politics or in the media that the system is broken. The long-term solution is to allocate the GST between the States on the basis of population and at one stage the four big States all agreed to that, and they probably still  do. 
But practically speaking, where is the progress on this issue? How are you convincing the other States to change their mind? 
Well, I have to convince the Commonwealth. We have a new Prime Minister. I think he will be sympathetic. 
 What's the breakthrough going to be? 
The breakthrough is we are not going to co-operate with national programs. We don't have the capacity to do all the things Malcolm Turnbull might want. I will look after WA and we will control our mining and petroleum industry. Francis Currow wants to know if you've put any more thought into the Thornlie to Cockburn rail line. 
 That's on the agenda, it certainly is. Extending that through to the Canning Vale industrial area, there's a lot of jobs there and a lot of people moving around. Ultimately, it will connect up to the Mandurah line.
