METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS — NEW RAILCARS
I have a supplementary question. Why is the Premier failing to provide Western Australians with basic infrastructure such as railcars, while the Premier spends on indulgent pet projects like his palace on the hill? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗
I heard the word “hopeless” from this side. I mean, is that it? Will that be the totality of the Labor Party’s campaign to the public of Western Australia? Will that be it? This government is sinking the rail line through the city of Perth. This government will complete the foreshore development. Mr M. McGowan : Where is it? You have not delivered anything. Mr C.J. BARNETT : The member for Rockingham should get off his seat, walk down there and look at what is happening! Preliminary works are underway. Go down and have a look. The site has been prepared and construction will start shortly. The contract has been let. Mr R.H. Cook : It is under the stimulus package, is it not? Mr C.J. BARNETT : About 40 per cent of the funding is from Infrastructure Australia. Thank you, Kevin Rudd, my friend. Sixty per cent of the funding came from the Western Australian government. This government — Mr P. Papalia : You have done nothing. You have no credibility on transport! Mr C.J. BARNETT : Mr Speaker, I am going to sit down, but I will — Mr R.H. Cook : When was the last time you caught a train? Mr C.J. BARNETT : When was the last time I caught a train? The SPEAKER : Member for Warnbro, I have given you a few subtle hints. I formally call you to order for the first time. Premier, I do not know whether you have more to say. Mr C.J. BARNETT : To answer the member for Kwinana: about a month ago I caught the train to Mandurah. It was excellent. I have to say that, since Hon Alannah MacTiernan left, the opposition has nothing. At least she had a crack. At least she could make a decision. Sometimes they were bad decisions, but she made some good ones too. Without her, the opposition is all front, no shop! There is nothing there. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn, I formally call you to order for the first time today.
