KWINANA FREEWAY TRAFFIC LEVELS
This question is in three parts—as it was before. (1) What was the average weekday traffic count on Kwinana Freeway in November 2007? (2) What is the equivalent figure for February 2008? (3) Will the minister table the complete Main Roads Western Australia figures for Kwinana Freeway traffic levels before and after the commencement of the southern suburbs railway; and, if not, why not? Hon ADELE FARINA
