PERTH WATERFRONT PROJECT — PROJECTED
VISITOR NUMBERS
66. Mr J.N. HYDE to the Minister for Planning:
I have a supplementary question. Has not the minister made up
these figures by including the four million underground transits at the
Esplanade railway station by workers who are already coming and going into the
city, before building has even started, or did cabinet just use a dartboard
when it had to justify a return on the $440 million investment?
The SPEAKER : I am
not necessarily going to rule the supplementary question out of order. I am
going to give the Minister for Planning the opportunity to answer it if he
wants to.
