(1) Will the minister advise why he directed that state government funds be allocated to the realignment at Tammin of the Great Eastern Highway, which is a federal road? (2) Will the minister explain why state government funds were not made available to complete the Great Northern Highway bridges over the Brooking and Fitzroy channels, which were listed in the state budget but put on hold because of a lack of federal funds? Hon M.J. CRIDDLE
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) Obviously, road funding arrangements are put in place over a period on a priority basis. The Leader of the Opposition knows that the Government reprioritises from year to year on that basis. Therefore, from time to time a project will move up and down the road program.
