QuestionView source ↗
(1) Does the budget estimate for 2009–2010 and the forward estimates include provision for funding free public transport 24/7 for all seniors card holders and other concessionary fare-users?
(2) Given the Liberal Party plan to extend eligibility for the WA Seniors Card, what provision in the forward estimates has the Government made for funding further additional free public transport?
(3) What provision has been made in the forward estimates for the purchase of additional railcars which would improve services to Gosnells on the Armadale line and on the Thornlie line?
(4) Is it possible for a Disability Pensioner to get a SmartRider card without parting with any money? Can they use the free public transport for free?
(5) Why is there no mention in the publicity nor the application form of the fact that a minimum $5 must be loaded onto the card, or it will not be issued?
(6) Is the Government denying the card to needy pensioners, who have no intention of travelling outside the free period?
(7) Does the Western Australia Community Crime Prevention Program (anti-hoon) incorporate speed cushions?
(8) What criteria are used by Main Roads to determine which projects are funded?
(9) In my electorate, the City of Gosnells submitted a much-needed proposal for Stennett Street mobile speed humps? Why was this project bid not successful?
(10) What volumes of traffic are projected over the forward estimates period to use the Nicholson Road - Garden Street, Langford/Thornlie crossing over the Kewdale-Fremantle freight rail line?
(11) Irrespective of the potential extension of the Thornlie spur electrified line to Nicholson Road and Canning Vale, is a road overpass to ease traffic congestion being considered?
