255. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the Minister for
Transport:
I ask a supplementary question. Was
the Premier wrong when he said that a bus transitway was a waste of money?

AnswerView source ↗

If the member for West Swan wants to
ask me what the Premier was up to, maybe the question could be better directed
towards the Premier.
I can tell the member that certain
people opposite ridiculed us on certain projects and said that they could never
occur.
Ms
R. Saffioti : You promised MAX and now you say
that the roadXXX ###XXXs not big enough.
The
SPEAKER : Member for West Swan, I call you to order for the first time.
Mr
W.J. Johnston interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, calm down. Minister, a quick answer.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : There was a time when those opposite criticised us for
considering putting ForrestfieldQQQ ### QQQAirport Link underground. Departments are continually
looking at innovative ways to deliver infrastructure for Western Australia at a
lower price and more effectively. We are able to continually review these
projects. I look forward to the announcement in the budget and I will leave it
to then, when I am happy to provide detail on any questions members opposite
would like to ask.
