Will the minister table the petition she received in February that was signed by more than 5 000 ordinary Western Australians and called on the Government to keep its now broken election promise to suspend the project while feasibility studies are carried out? Ms MacTIERNAN

AnswerView source ↗

The Government does not have any difficulty with tabling the petition. Quite frankly, the member for Hillarys has it wrong. The Government has not made a decision. It has honoured its election promise, which was to undertake a thorough review of car parking. That is something that the member for Hillarys could not deliver when he was in government. We are doing his job for him. That review is being conducted, and will be completed before a decision is made.
