ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — MEETING WITH PREMIER
579. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the Minister for
Transport:
I refer to reports that the minister
has been unable, for weeks, to obtain a meeting with the Premier to discuss Roe
8, despite repeated attempts.

minister first make a request to the Premier or his office for meetings
regarding Roe 8?
(2) How many attempts have been
made?
(3) What reasons was the minister
given for not obtaining a meeting with the Premier?

(1)–(3) It
is worth clarifying the comments I made this morning. I have not been able to
obtain a meeting with the Premier because he has been away and he has been
busy. This is not an issue of extreme urgency. I managed to catch him on one
issue behind the chamber the other night, because we were here till 12.30 am,
to let him know —
Mr
F.M. Logan : Did you do a Nigel Hallett?
Mr
D.C. NALDER : I beg your pardon.
The
SPEAKER : Carry on.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : There have been a couple of things, and I need to have
discussions with him on a couple of broader issues, and I am just waiting for a
time—and that has been just over two weeks.
