I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The laying of track is among the final pieces of work that is undertaken on rail projects. The
McGowan government is delivering over 72 kilometres of new rail. We can
compare this with the former government, which delivered only 7.5 kilometres of
rail in eight and a half years, failed to deliver the Ellenbrook line and Metro
Area Express light rail, and closed hundreds of kilometres of rail on the tier 3
network.
