TONKIN HIGHWAY–HALE
ROAD INTERSECTION
1053. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Can the Premier confirm that the government's
rapid backflip following opposition pressure
was due to WA Labor's recent polling of Forrestfield and its recent
raft of panicked policy announcements?

I have noticed that the member for
Vasse seems to be in a downward spiral of falsehoods. How she comes up with
these questions that, firstly, are convoluted, and, secondly, are based on
complete and utter inaccuracies, whether it
is about life jackets, roads, intersections or whatever it might be, is really
quite breathtaking. I would urge her to do a little bit more research. If she
has a specific question about an intersection, she should ask the Minister for
Transport.
