I have a supplementary question. If the vast majority of submissions oppose the deletion of the Fremantle eastern bypass, will the minister reconsider her position? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN

AnswerView source ↗

There will be full public hearings and a recommendation will be made to government. Mr M.F. Board: Will you listen? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Of course we will listen. We have gone through this process. We did not need to go through the process but we have gone through it because we are prepared to listen and to engage in debate, unlike the previous Government, which just simply legislated and ignored all the people in and out of Fremantle who recognised that this was a disastrous move for the community.
