Millswood Railway Station

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:43): Given this was meant to be finished by 1 July but you are having to push the date back, has there been any scoping on pricing for the raising of the platform to allow passengers to get on and off for a 12-month trial period?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:43): Once the detailed engineering and design works have been done for the platform raising and the removal of the existing shelter and replacement with a new shelter, lighting and other upgrades that are required, we will bring back a final pricing. We did release an amount of some $400,000 or so. We would like to be able to deliver the upgrade and the opening of the station within that budget, but we will have to wait and see the extent of the works that are required.

The SPEAKER: I have allowed the member for Morialta to interject with impunity today because, having reviewed Hansard yesterday, he did have something of a point about the Premier's answer but, as they say in the classics, 'Sometimes one man must suffer for the people.' The member for Colton.
