Will the minister advise the House of the Government’s final timetable for the south west suburbs rail line to Mandurah? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. It is such good news that we want the opportunity to ensure that no-one misses it. I am very sad that the member for Dawesville is not here today because he was going to provide the Government with a little something if the Government was able to do this by 2006. The Government has received very positive contract prices. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Government has been able to save money by bringing the project forward. The project was originally projected until 2007 in order to control the issue of net debt. Because of the excellent economic management by this Government and the Treasurer, the Government is well below its targets for net debt to revenue ratios. The Government will be able to deliver the rail line to the people of Mandurah in 2006, as originally promised. The contracts will be signed and executed and work will commence well before the next election. The community will be in a position to judge between a party that promises all and does absolutely nothing and the Labor Party, which promises and delivers!
