TONKIN HIGHWAY–HALE
ROAD INTERSECTION
1052. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I refer to the Minister for
Transport's plan to prevent the people of Forrestfield from accessing
the Tonkin Highway and Hale Road intersection. Given the minister backflipped
on this poor decision during grievances this morning, will the Premier ask her
to backflip on Roe 8 and 9 —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!
Mr M.P. Murray : Get yourself
a life jacket!
The SPEAKER : Minister for
Sport and Recreation, I hope we can find a life jacket big enough for you! I call
you to order for the first time.
Ms L. METTAM : My question is
to the Premier.
Ms R. Saffioti : I'm
over here!
The SPEAKER : Minister, I can
see you, too, okay? Thank you. Member for Vasse.
Ms L. METTAM : My question is
to the Premier.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members, I will
hear the question in silence. Member for Vasse.
Ms L. METTAM : My question is
to the Premier. I refer to the Minister for Transport's plan to prevent
the people of Forrestfield from accessing the Tonkin Highway and Hale Road
intersection. Given the minister backflipped on this poor decision during
grievances this morning, will the Premier ask her to backflip on Roe 8 and 9,
which would deliver much-needed jobs and improve road safety and congestion in
the southern suburbs?

AnswerView source ↗

The entire premise of the question
is false and I would urge the member to ask the Minister for Transport.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!
Members on my right, part of question time is for the opposition to ask the
government questions. I will not have anyone interrupting, or you will be going
home early.
