acknowledge, on behalf of the member for Willagee, the presence in the public
gallery of students from Melville Senior High School.
I refer to the ministerXXX ###XXXs
comments on radio this morning that the Leach Highway option is one that the
minister is considering for stage 2 of the Perth Freight Link. Will the
minister now go to Moody Glen and Hird Place in
Palmyra and other affected streets and meet with the dozens of families and
people whose homes and businesses are under threat because of the ministerXXX ###XXXs plans?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for the question. As I said, we are looking at options, and until an option has
been chosen, there is no point in worrying residents who might have concerns,
when it may not be an option.
