PERTH AIRPORT — FEDERAL ROAD FUNDING
Can we correctly assume from the Premier’s answer that he has been given no undertaking from Mr Abbott, and that these projects will not go ahead if he is elected? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗

The member cannot safely assume. She could have done more during her time in government to address those projects. The Labor Party members who sit opposite are the great incompetents of the world. They are the people who did nothing in government to address the issue. Now they grizzle. They support a federal Labor Party government that will wrench the very economic heart out of this state.
