Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 532 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 18 August 2022 by Mr R.S. Love

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

METRONET PROJECTS — TIME FRAME

532. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:

I have a supplementary question. I do not think the minister answered the question, so I will restate it. How can Western Australians believe the minister's timetable will be delivered, given her repeated failures to date?

Ms R. SAFFIOTI replied:

Let us think about those people in the Armadale corridor and the Denny Avenue level crossing removal, a project that the late Don Randall wanted to get up. He took numerous transport ministers to site again and again. What did they get? Zero. The Denny Avenue level crossing removal is completed. The people of the Armadale corridor know only Labor invests in those areas. From Byford through to Thornlie through to Canning Vale and Cannington—I am so proud of the infrastructure spend already in that corridor. We have the Kwinana Freeway works, the Armadale Road works and now the complete transformation of the Armadale rail line—a rail line that the former government did not touch in eight and a half years and roads that the former government never improved in eight and a half years. It wilfully turned its back on the suburbs of our state, and it would again, given half the chance. Only Labor delivers for that corridor. I tell opposition members what: there is a level of excitement about our infrastructure spending that they could only dream of!
