PERTH FREIGHT LINK — TUNNEL PROPOSAL
695. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Is
it not the case that the Premier advised the former Minister for Transport, the
member for Alfred Cove, that he was not going to proceed with the tunnel option
of the Perth Freight Link? If the Premier advised him so, was that not altering
the original cabinet decision?

The
SPEAKER : Thank you!
Mr

The
SPEAKER : Leader of the Opposition!
Mr

The immediate task is to conclude
the contracts and to begin construction of Roe 8 to Stock Road. As Roe 8 to
Stock Road is under construction, the government will make final decisions on
the connection from Stock Road into the harbour, and that issue is yet to be
resolved.
