AnswerView source ↗
I will take a little time to explain to the member - Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: I call to order the Leader of the Opposition for the first time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I understand that the Leader of the Opposition wants to utter mindless insults because he has no wit or ability to do anything but to sledge. That is the limit of his capacity and we know that will continue. I am addressing my answer to the member for Carine. The Government is in the process now of negotiating with the various tenderers. We are at the pointy end of the tender process. Mr C.J. Barnett: Two and a half years later. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Earlier, that man accused us of moving too quickly. He is all over the place. For the first year and a half he said we were moving too quickly. Now we are moving too slowly. At one stage, he said that we were moving too quickly with the building of the southern railway line and that he would take longer to build it. The Leader of the Opposition has no credibility whatsoever. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: We have made it very clear that we will have this rail line in Rockingham by 2006 and in Mandurah by 2007. We are absolutely 100 per cent on our time line. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Leader of the Opposition wants to gobble up all of the member for Carine’s time. We are right at the pointy end of the tender process. We are hardly likely to release a report that sets out our itemisation of the cost of the project at the same time as we are trying to engage in commercial negotiations with the contractors. I know the Leader of the Opposition finds this hard to understand, because that is not the way he would do business and would protect the State’s interests. We all know, from the appalling deals that the Deputy Premier is now trying to mop up, that the Leader of the Opposition did not exercise that sort of probity and commercial concern. We are unable to release a report at this time. It would be immensely foolish. Mr M.W. Trenorden: Why? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I have explained that. I have no intention of compromising our position. The SPEAKER: Order! I call to order the Leader of the National Party and the member for Vasse.

At one stage, he said that we were moving too quickly with the building of the southern railway line and that he would take longer to build it. The Leader of the Opposition has no credibility whatsoever. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: We have made it very clear that we will have this rail line in Rockingham by 2006 and in Mandurah by 2007. We are absolutely 100 per cent on our time line. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Leader of the Opposition wants to gobble up all of the member for Carine’s time. We are right at the pointy end of the tender process. We are hardly likely to release a report that sets out our itemisation of the cost of the project at the same time as we are trying to engage in commercial negotiations with the contractors. I know the Leader of the Opposition finds this hard to understand, because that is not the way he would do business and would protect the State’s interests. We all know, from the appalling deals that the Deputy Premier is now trying to mop up, that the Leader of the Opposition did not exercise that sort of probity and commercial concern. We are unable to release a report at this time. It would be immensely foolish. Mr M.W. Trenorden: Why? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I have explained that. I have no intention of compromising our position. The SPEAKER: Order! I call to order the Leader of the National Party and the member for Vasse.
Mr C.J. Barnett: Two and a half years later. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Earlier, that man accused us of moving too quickly. He is all over the place. For the first year and a half he said we were moving too quickly. Now we are moving too slowly.
