PUBLIC
TRANSPORT — METRO AREA EXPRESS LIGHT RAIL
103. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to question without notice
52 asked on Thursday, 16 May 2013 and note the minister's answer that
detailed planning and procurement is underway and is expected to identify a
range of issues as this progresses.
(1) Why did the minister not answer
my actual question?
(2) Can the
minister now provide an answer to my original questions about any issues that
have been identified since the start of the recent election?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. It is again acknowledged that, unlike the Labor
Party, this Liberal–National government is committed to the Perth–Darwin
highway, which will see heavy vehicle traffic removed from many local communities,
particularly in the East Metropolitan Region.
(1) Please refer to question without
notice 52.
(2) Not applicable.
