METRONET PROJECTS — TIME FRAME
532. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I have a supplementary question. I do
not think the minister answered the question, so I will restate it. How can Western
Australians believe the minister's timetable will be delivered, given
her repeated failures to date?

Let us think about those people in
the Armadale corridor and the Denny Avenue level crossing removal, a project
that the late Don Randall wanted to get up. He took numerous transport
ministers to site again and again. What did they
get? Zero. The Denny Avenue level crossing removal is completed. The people of
the Armadale corridor know only Labor
invests in those areas. From Byford through to Thornlie through to Canning Vale
and Cannington—I am so proud
of the infrastructure spend already in that corridor. We have the Kwinana
Freeway works, the Armadale Road works and now the complete
transformation of the Armadale rail line—a rail line that the former
government did not touch in eight and a half years and roads that the former
government never improved in eight and a half years. It wilfully turned its
back on the suburbs of our state, and it would again, given half the chance.
Only Labor delivers for that corridor. I tell opposition members what: there is
a level of excitement about our infrastructure spending that they could only
dream of!
