ROAD SAFETY - BULK GRAIN TRANSPORT
No, no, no. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich interjected. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : I am just trying to see whether I have a question to ask to which I have not received a note that the government will not answer today. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : I thought you were throwing out your own questions, which would be more like it. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : No, that is a matter for Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich. Mr President, I think this question has been redirected from the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, who I thought was responsible for road safety, to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure via the parliamentary secretary, who I thought was not responsible for road safety; so I thank the government for redirecting it. (1) In the event of closure of sections of the rail freight network currently used for grain haulage, what are the safety implications of more grain being carried by road? (2) What is the evidence to support that position? (3) How many major crashes involving restricted access vehicles carrying bulk grain or other vehicles carrying bulk grain have occurred on Western Australian roads in each of the years 2001 to 2006? (4) How many of the crashes were fatalities? Hon ADELE FARINA
