ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — PERTH FREIGHT LINK —
TRAFFIC MODELLING
737. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the
Minister for Transport:
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister release
the traffic modelling, given he is using this information in government-paid
advertisements? Why will he not release the traffic modelling and the impact of
this project on local roads?

AnswerView source ↗
I think I just explained the impact on local roads quite
well.
Ms R. Saffioti interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for West Swan, I call you to order
for the second time.
Mr D.C. NALDER : I
heard an interjection from the member for Fremantle. One of the arguments from
members opposite is about putting more freight on rail. I have a letter in my
ministerial office complaining about how much rail is going through Fremantle,
and members opposite want to see more freight on rail.
Several members interjected.
Mr D.C. NALDER : It
gets really confusing. I am not sure how she will shift those containers to
Kewdale if we cannot do it by truck and we cannot do it by rail. This is a
responsible government and we know that best practice would still require a
minimum of 70 per cent of containers to be moved by road. This is a responsible
government. Last week I saw the example —
Mr J.R. Quigley interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Butler!
Mr D.C. NALDER : I
was going to go gently on her at the time, but I have decided no, I cannot do
that. She got up here and tried to explain what a B-triple was. She had a
triple road train—the difference of 53 metres and 36.5 metres.
Point of Order
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : I do not know
who the minister is referring to. The point of order is that we refer to people
by their electorate.
Mrs G.J. GODFREY : Yesterday, the
Minister for Police was regularly referred to as ''she''.
The SPEAKER : Please clarify who
you are referring to, thank you.

There are 18 months before the
election. I commit to ensuring that all the information is out there well and
truly in advance of the election so that everyone has a clear understanding of
exactly what —

The
SPEAKER : Member for Fremantle!
Mr D.C. NALDER :
That is when the decision will be made by the community about whether we have
behaved responsibly. Prior to that, I will not do anything that will put any
state government contract at risk.
