If it was politically motivated, I
would not have had the road in Eaton sealed, would I?
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Thank you!
Mr
D.C. NALDER : If it had been politically motivated, Labor would not have
removed the $20 million funding for the Coalfields highway, which the Liberal
government put back in and fixed.
Mr
W.J. Johnston interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Cannington!
Mr
M. McGowan interjected.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : I am hearing the Leader of the Opposition, who told me the
closure of tier 3 would lead to extra trucks down the Coalfields highway when
the tier 3 does not go anywhere near the Coalfields highway. Please keep going
on. The Leader of the Opposition —
Mr
D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Leader of the
National Party!

a very clear case of a minister under pressure deflecting from the question,
and I ask that he address the question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Answer the
question, please.
Questions without Notice Resumed
Mr D.C. NALDER :
Perhaps the issue was the basis on which the question was asked, and perhaps
the member for Collie–Preston would like to meet with me afterwards and
we can review the way the question was asked to see whether something more
