PERTH FREIGHT LINK — STAGE 2
828. Ms S.F. McGURK to the Minister for

P. Papalia interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for Warnbro, I call you to order
for the first time. I am hearing a lot of chatter to my right again.
Mr W.R. MARMION : Nothing has gone to cabinet on Roe 9.
Something has gone to cabinet on Roe 8 and the contract is underway. My aim is
to get something to cabinet as soon as possible, but as I said in answering the
member's first question, it will be predicated on when I get the
information and advice from my department. When I have the information and
advice, I can take it to cabinet. That is predicated on when it is given to me.
Ms
M.M. Quirk interjected.
The SPEAKER : That is enough.
