FORRESTFIELD–AIRPORT
LINK — ALTERNATIVE PLANS
549. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the
Minister for Transport:
I have a supplementary question. Given that the government
has undertaken the financial, social impact and environmental modelling of each
option, why will the minister not release them?

AnswerView source ↗

The member for West Swan may want to read the summary project
definition plan that was issued today. One of the important things that the
member forgets is that if we are going 15 metres underground, we are not
impacting a lot on the environment and causing environmental problems that may
occur in wetlands or whatever. Aboriginal heritage —
Several members interjected.
Mr D.C. NALDER : I
am not sure what opposition members are trying to achieve out of this.
