(1) Following the answer given by the minister to question without notice 958 on 11 November 2004, when will plans for the south west metropolitan Perth to Mandurah rail be finalised and made public? (2) Given that other projects have been held up because final Environmental Protection Authority approval has not been obtained prior to the release of tenders, why was this project commenced before the finalisation of EPA requirements? (3) How much soil is contaminated in the Perth yard to Narrows Bridge section of the south west metropolitan rail project? (4) What are the classes of contamination and what volumes of contamination for each class have been identified when shifting this contamination? (5) What safety measures have been put in place to prevent any adverse issues regarding the public? Hon KEN TRAVERS

I am advised that the minister has been attending a forum all morning. Therefore, I do not have an answer to those questions. If the member asks them again next week, I will endeavour to provide an answer.
