AUTOGAS CONVERSION
I have a supplementary question. Is it the position of this government that allocating $1.5 million to a union trust fund is more valuable to a community that is reeling in the face of high petrol prices than continuing the LPG autogas conversion subsidy to reduce family motoring costs? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN

It is interesting that the Perth-Mandurah railway will save a resident of Mandurah presently driving a Hyundai to Perth every day around $3 500 a year. Someone driving a Ford or a Commodore, with the cheapest possible parking price in Perth, will save around $7 000 a year. I do not think it could be argued that the government is not investing in providing more sustainable options. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the members for Leschenault, Vasse and Avon. Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : The Minister for Resources and Assisting the Minister for State Development made the point yesterday - Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the member for Leschenault to order for the second time. Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : The minister made the point yesterday that every passenger on the AvonLink - a proposal that the member for Avon was advocating passionately - receives a subsidy of $57. Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call member for Vasse to order for the second time. Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN : We need to invest on a number of different fronts. Obviously, making sure that there is a fair and proper regime for the working people of Australia is one of the many things in which we need to invest. Mr M.W. Trenorden interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! Not to be outdone, I call the member to Avon to order for the second time.
