TRAIN OVERCROWDING — PUBLIC SAFETY
I have a supplementary question. The Premier will be about to open an extension to the car park at Stirling railway station. Does it make sense to spend a huge amount of money on extra car parking when people cannot get onto the train? Mr C.J. BARNETT

People can get onto the train. We are conscious of the increase in load. That is why the extra carriages are on order. Mr E.S. Ripper : It is going to get worse in the next five years. Mr C.J. BARNETT : The city is growing. The infrastructure and the investment outlined by the minister is in place. Mr E.S. Ripper : It is going to get worse. Mr C.J. BARNETT : The Leader of the Opposition thinks that everything is going to get worse. That is because he was in a Labor government where things did get worse—day after day after day. Under a Liberal–National government things get better and better every day. Get up to speed.
