Certainly. As with the past two
days, I take much pleasure to share with the chamber another initiative that
this government has undertaken to ensure that we keep people moving in Perth.
Mr
D.J. Kelly interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Bassendean, I call you to order for the third time.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : I will touch on this. The member for Bassendean for two days —
Mr
W.J. Johnston interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the second time.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : For the last two days, the member for Bassendean has poked fun
at the pedestrian countdown timers. I can say —
Mr
W.J. Johnston interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Cannington!
Mr D.C. NALDER : I
will tell members why we take this very seriously. This is an important way to
make it safer for infirm, disabled and elderly people to cross the roads. We
take that very seriously, and I think it is a great initiative. However, the
initiative that I will now refer to is to do with the member for Forrestfield's
question.
There is a great relationship with
the federal government and because of that relationship and with the
cooperation of the federal government, instead of putting traffic lights at the
intersection of Berkshire Road and Roe Highway for $15 million, we can spend
$45 million to make it a full grade-separated interchange. This is a fantastic
achievement. It is one of the blackspots in our city that has an accident on
average every 10 days. It is an important intersection that we need to do. I
look forward to continuing to bring these initiatives to this house to prove
that this government is taking it seriously and keeping Perth moving. I would
like to acknowledge the member for Forrestfield's hard work in
delivering this great outcome for his electorate.
