METROPOLITAN BUS PURCHASES — PERTH PARKING LEVY
I have a supplementary question. Why did the Premier raise the Perth parking levy and then sit on $17 million in surplus funds when the Perth parking levy is supposed to fund the CAT bus service, and to relieve congestion on that service? Mr C.J. BARNETT

I said that we would look at the CAT bus system. There have been proposals for extensions to the service—I think the City of Perth has made some suggestions—but the matter is with the Minister for Transport. The SPEAKER : I call the member for Wanneroo. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Member for Pilbara, I formally call you to order for the first time today. I have given the call to the member for Wanneroo.
