107. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. In confirming that the
Premier's government will honour its election commitments, as he just
said, that means that the government will commence the project in 2016. Will it
still complete the project in 2018?

I cannot predict how long it will take to build it; I will not.
Look at Labor's effort on the Perth Arena; look at its effort there.
This government has an outstanding record in delivering major capital works.
Look at our hospitals; look at a whole range of projects around the state; look
at royalties for regions. No government in the last 30 years has delivered the
capital works program of this government.
