I refer to your answer to Question on Notice No. 5386 and also to the answer of the Premier to Question Without Notice No. 570, in which the Premier stated, in relation to Metronet projects, "what we sent to the Commonwealth was a range of additional projects to the ones we took to the state election.... We sent to the commonwealth a whole bunch of new projects.", and I ask: (a) Can the Minister detail each of the "range of additional projects to the ones (the Government) took to the state election" for which funding has been sought; (b) What is the total cost of each "new project"; (c) What does each "new project" entail; (d) How was each project prioritised; and (e) Will the Minister table the business case for each new project and if no, why?

The Question on Notice to which the member is referring responded to a political document created by the Leader of the Opposition’s office in an attempt to undermine METRONET.
The list provided by the Premier included a range of projects for funding, some were specific election commitments and others were not.
The State Government has been successful in securing record Federal funding for METRONET, despite calls from the Opposition for the Federal Government not to provide any.
