I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Main Roads WA advises — (1) An amount of $105 000. (2) There is no legal obligation to fence the station. (3) No. (4) Main Roads has not been able to reach agreement with the pastoralists regarding the standard of fencing and their financial contribution, which is generally 50 per cent of the total cost of erecting the fence. Completion of the works will depend on reaching agreement with the pastoralists.
