JURIEN BAY BOAT HARBOUR — SPUR GROYNE ADDITION
764. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I have a supplementary question.
With $6 billion in surplus and the people of Jurien Bay seeing $120 million
being spent down the road at Ocean Reef, why is it unfair for the people of
Jurien Bay to expect the government to fix this problem with their asset?
Several members interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI
replied:
Members should remember that it is
the Nationals WA, as the members behind me have said, which always wants to
divide the community. The member for Moore should remember the motion that he
took to his state council, which was: we
need to appeal to people in densely populated areas. This type of approach does
not lend itself to that motion that he put forward and got endorsed, as
I understand it. It is now National Party policy to try to appeal to densely
populated areas.
There are a lot of demands across
the state. We work to try to meet those demands. There continues to be demands
in maritime infrastructure and roads across the entire state. We work very
hard. We are delivering a record asset investment program, much of it in regional
WA, and we will continue to endeavour to fund projects that deliver real
outcomes to the community.
