I thank the honourable member. I welcome her first question. I have the honour of being able to answer it. (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3)-(5) The federal government has refused to provide funding for Roe Highway stage 7 unless we keep the area reserved. The minister believes it is about time the Greens (WA) gave the government credit for deleting the Fremantle eastern bypass and refocusing freight transport planning for greater sustainability. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members!
