ALBANY HIGHWAY, WILLIAMS - PASSING LANE
I refer to a serious accident on Albany Highway that occurred 27 kilometres north of Williams on 10 July this year in which two people lost their lives. The local communities are concerned about the dangerous state of this section of road. (1) Will the minister advise whether this section of road is earmarked for a vehicle passing lane and road upgrade to improve the safety of the road for road users? (2) If so, in which budget will the passing lane be included, and when is construction likely to commence? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN

If the member were serious about that question, he would have given me some notice of it. We have a program of passing lanes for South Western Highway. If the member cares to put the question on notice, I will certainly respond.
