QuestionView source ↗
Noting the Labor position, clearly on display during the recent election, that no essential infrastructure can ever be built if it would involve cutting down a tree, I ask:
(a) how much native vegetation is the Government proposing to clear for Metronet projects, such as extending the rail line to Yanchep or Ellenbrook; and
(b) has the Minister given approval for this clearing, or at least consulted about commencing the necessary processes?
