ROE
HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — ADVERTISING
901. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to government-funded advertising for Roe 8.
(1) What is
the total cost, including all mediums, of the current advertisement series
bearing the tagline ''Fewer trucks mean safer roads''?
(2) Will the
parliamentary secretary please table the evidence to support the advertisement's
claim that by 2021, Roe 8 will remove an estimated 5 000 heavy vehicles a day
from various roads in the southern suburbs?
(3) Is the
claim referred to in (2) based on the assumption of just Roe 8 being built or
is it based on stages 2 and 3 of the Perth Freight Link being built as well?
(4) What is the forecast impact on heavy vehicle numbers on
these roads by 2030?
Hon Simon O'Brien : Does that mean you're open
to being convinced, if you're looking for information?
Hon Lynn MacLaren : No.
The PRESIDENT : Order!
Hon Simon O'Brien : What's the point? You're
asking for factual information.
The PRESIDENT : Order! I will give Hon Simon O'Brien
the call next time if he stands.
Hon Simon O'Brien : I don't want the call. I've
been waiting for you lot to ask a sensible question.
The PRESIDENT : Order! Let us get back to the
standard procedure.
