AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Mandurah for the question. I can understand the member being very interested in this issue. Fuel prices are now around $1.04 a litre. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call to order the member for Dawesville and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: An international expert from an Iranian oil company visited this State last week. He told us that we might in fact see something in the order of $3 a litre in three to four years. That is very alarming. Mr A.D. Marshall interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, member for Dawesville! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The member for Dawesville is getting very excited about the rail. He tells us that he is a great supporter. Mr R.C. Kucera: He tells us it was his idea. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: That is right. The good news is that, with our bold new rail system we will deliver a saving of some $4 100 a year to the residents of Mandurah who use the rail to travel to the city. We have good news for other members. The member for Rockingham’s constituents will save $3 200 and the member for Peel’s residents will do well. Several members interjected The SPEAKER: Order, members. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: He just does not like it. He and Willie Packer want people to use the freeway. That is the view from the compound. The member for Peel’s constituents will save $2 800; the member for Cockburn’s, $2 400; and the member for Riverton’s, $2 100. The people of the south west corridor understand very well that this rail link is not only justified today but also it will be absolutely necessary as we move into the future.

Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: That is right. The good news is that, with our bold new rail system we will deliver a saving of some $4 100 a year to the residents of Mandurah who use the rail to travel to the city. We have good news for other members. The member for Rockingham’s constituents will save $3 200 and the member for Peel’s residents will do well. Several members interjected The SPEAKER: Order, members. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: He just does not like it. He and Willie Packer want people to use the freeway. That is the view from the compound. The member for Peel’s constituents will save $2 800; the member for Cockburn’s, $2 400; and the member for Riverton’s, $2 100. The people of the south west corridor understand very well that this rail link is not only justified today but also it will be absolutely necessary as we move into the future.
