Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 635 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 25 October 2022 by Mr R.S. Love

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

INFRASTRUCTURE AUSTRALIA PROJECTS — BINDOON BYPASS

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

I have a supplementary question. If the Bindoon bypass is re-profiled in the budget papers this evening, can we take it that the minister has failed to advocate for the delivery of the project?

Ms R. SAFFIOTI replied:

Given that the National Party had eight and a half years to deliver this project, do we take it that it failed regional Western Australia time and again? Under its stewardship, it did not invest in road safety funding, it did not build the Bunbury Outer Ring Road, it did not build the Albany ring-road, it did not fix the projects on Great Northern Highway and it did not spend money on road maintenance. Shall we say that it completely failed regional Western Australia for eight and a half years? I think that is a yes. It had eight and a half years, but it said it did not want to spend money on regional road funding. It purposely went out there to not deliver projects in regional WA, so do not start lecturing us about delivering road spending in WA. Everywhere people go, there are road works, road spending and local people building our roads.
