Federal Liberal leader Peter Dutton dropped by 6PR’s studios while in Perth to discuss some of the issues plaguing the state.

Mr Dutton shared his support for Western Australia’s live export industry, highlighting his concern the ban would decimate the economy.

He told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live the government is taking WA for granted.

“If you close the industry down it has a knock-on effect to other commodities,” said Mr Dutton.
