AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Willagee for the question. Before I answer the question, I acknowledge student leaders from Mindarie Primary School in the gallery. As everyone in this house knows, Roe 8 is a terrific project and the missing link in our freight network. It adds to the fantastic Gateway project that we delivered on. That is a wonderful project that everyone acknowledges is a great project for Western Australia and that is completed. At the moment, we are delivering on NorthLink. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! Mr W.R. MARMION : With NorthLink completed, Gateway already done and Roe 8 completed, it will be a fantastic freight network in Western Australia. We all know that we cannot deliver freight only on rail. Labor has only the rail and there is no — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the first time. Minister, short question—short answer. Mr W.R. MARMION : Just to finish that point, we have a comprehensive integrated policy on delivering freight, which is rail and road. Mr P.C. Tinley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the second time. Mr W.R. MARMION : Hold your horses, member. Just my final point — Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : My question was very specific. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Sit down. Member for Swan Hills, I call you to order for the first time. I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will release the report shortly—very shortly, in fact. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it. It is right here in my hand, so just be patient. It is just about there! Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice. Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : In tabling that document, the minister also quoted from a typed piece of paper he had in his hand. Under the standing orders, if a member quotes from something, an official document, they are required to table that too. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Points of order are to be taken in silence. The minister quoted from something. What is it? Mr W.R. MARMION : Hand notes, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Can I have a look at them, please. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! I am not interested in you. Thank you; just pass them up to me. Questions without Notice Resumed Several members interjected. Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.

Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : In tabling that document, the minister also quoted from a typed piece of paper he had in his hand. Under the standing orders, if a member quotes from something, an official document, they are required to table that too. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Points of order are to be taken in silence. The minister quoted from something. What is it? Mr W.R. MARMION : Hand notes, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Can I have a look at them, please. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! I am not interested in you. Thank you; just pass them up to me. Questions without Notice Resumed Several members interjected. Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the first time. Minister, short question—short answer. Mr W.R. MARMION : Just to finish that point, we have a comprehensive integrated policy on delivering freight, which is rail and road. Mr P.C. Tinley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the second time. Mr W.R. MARMION : Hold your horses, member. Just my final point — Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : My question was very specific. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Sit down. Member for Swan Hills, I call you to order for the first time. I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will release the report shortly—very shortly, in fact. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it. It is right here in my hand, so just be patient. It is just about there! Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice.

I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice. Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : In tabling that document, the minister also quoted from a typed piece of paper he had in his hand. Under the standing orders, if a member quotes from something, an official document, they are required to table that too. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Points of order are to be taken in silence. The minister quoted from something. What is it? Mr W.R. MARMION : Hand notes, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Can I have a look at them, please. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! I am not interested in you. Thank you; just pass them up to me. Questions without Notice Resumed Several members interjected. Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will release the report shortly—very shortly, in fact. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker.

Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice. Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H.

Mr W.R. MARMION replied: I thank the member for Willagee for the question. Before I answer the question, I acknowledge student leaders from Mindarie Primary School in the gallery. As everyone in this house knows, Roe 8 is a terrific project and the missing link in our freight network. It adds to the fantastic Gateway project that we delivered on. That is a wonderful project that everyone acknowledges is a great project for Western Australia and that is completed. At the moment, we are delivering on NorthLink. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! Mr W.R. MARMION : With NorthLink completed, Gateway already done and Roe 8 completed, it will be a fantastic freight network in Western Australia. We all know that we cannot deliver freight only on rail. Labor has only the rail and there is no — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the first time. Minister, short question—short answer. Mr W.R. MARMION : Just to finish that point, we have a comprehensive integrated policy on delivering freight, which is rail and road. Mr P.C. Tinley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the second time. Mr W.R. MARMION : Hold your horses, member. Just my final point — Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : My question was very specific. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Sit down. Member for Swan Hills, I call you to order for the first time. I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will release the report shortly—very shortly, in fact. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it. It is right here in my hand, so just be patient. It is just about there! Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice.

Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : In tabling that document, the minister also quoted from a typed piece of paper he had in his hand. Under the standing orders, if a member quotes from something, an official document, they are required to table that too. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Points of order are to be taken in silence. The minister quoted from something. What is it? Mr W.R. MARMION : Hand notes, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Can I have a look at them, please. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! I am not interested in you. Thank you; just pass them up to me. Questions without Notice Resumed Several members interjected. Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you! Mr W.R. MARMION : With NorthLink completed, Gateway already done and Roe 8 completed, it will be a fantastic freight network in Western Australia. We all know that we cannot deliver freight only on rail. Labor has only the rail and there is no — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the first time. Minister, short question—short answer. Mr W.R. MARMION : Just to finish that point, we have a comprehensive integrated policy on delivering freight, which is rail and road. Mr P.C. Tinley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the second time. Mr W.R. MARMION : Hold your horses, member. Just my final point — Point of Order Mr P.C.

I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is.

The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it.

Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I call you to order for the second time. Mr W.R. MARMION : Hold your horses, member. Just my final point — Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : My question was very specific. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Sit down. Member for Swan Hills, I call you to order for the first time. I know what your point of order is, thank you. Minister for Transport, it was a short question: when will you release the contract? Just tell us what your answer is. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will release the report shortly—very shortly, in fact. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Willagee, I do not want to send you out early today. Just wait a minute. It was a short question on when you will release the contract. You said you would release the contract shortly. Do you have anything else to add? Mr W.R. MARMION : Yes. I will release the report in 30 seconds. Several members interjected. Point of Order Mr P.C. TINLEY : Mr Speaker, you specifically asked the minister to come back to the question about the contract and he completely ignored you. Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it. It is right here in my hand, so just be patient. It is just about there! Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice. Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : In tabling that document, the minister also quoted from a typed piece of paper he had in his hand. Under the standing orders, if a member quotes from something, an official document, they are required to table that too. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Points of order are to be taken in silence. The minister quoted from something. What is it? Mr W.R. MARMION : Hand notes, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Can I have a look at them, please.

Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time. Withdraw that statement. Mr W.J. Johnston : Which statement? The SPEAKER : You called him a moron. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. The SPEAKER : Thank you. Minister, is there anything else that you quoted from? Mr W.R. MARMION : You can have the whole lot. I do not care, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER : Thank you. That is enough. Somebody will be having a rest. Those are notes. Thank you.
Several members interjected. Mr P.C. TINLEY : Look at the rabble. Members opposite call us rabble. Look at them. Is it a report or is it a contract? The SPEAKER : Is it a report or is it a contract? Mr W.R. Marmion : It is a contract. The SPEAKER : Now, if you are going to release the contract, it is to do with only the release of the contract and then we are moving on. Now you obviously have a contract there, so carry on. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr W.R. MARMION : I will talk only about the contract, Mr Speaker. Before releasing it in what was going to be 30 seconds, but it is still another 30 seconds, I have to explain the conditions on which I am releasing it. It is right here in my hand, so just be patient. It is just about there! Several members interjected. Mr W.R. MARMION : It is nearly across there! I am trying to get it to members opposite, but they keep interjecting. There are 113 pages, 34 clauses and 14 schedules. As I said I would, I sought the State Solicitor’s advice. Very small passages have been redacted on the advice of the State Solicitor, so it is very important that I sought that advice and was not pressured by the opposition to just hand over the contract. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Just wait. Mr W.R. MARMION : I have been careful. Individual names have been removed. I have reduced any potential compromise to the commercial interests of non-owner participants and protected the state’s future negotiating position on similar contracts. The final point is that it protects the state’s position on certain elements of the project. Members can read the termination clauses. They are all there for members to read. It is a great privilege to provide the “Project Alliance Agreement: Roe 8 Project” to the house. [See paper 4800.] Tabling of Paper Mrs M.H.
