(1)–(2)
We will abide by the appropriate policies on the way through. I said that, at
this point in time, I cannot define exactly what bits are going in with what.
We are going through that process at the moment. We are not here to say that we
will break any state agreements or state policies at all. I look forward to
this and I am glad the member has raised the opportunity to talk about the
pedestrian bridge because I think it will be an exciting development for
Western Australia. It will link East Perth to the Burswood Peninsula and
provide a fantastic amenity for all Western Australians.
