WIRE ROPE SAFETY BARRIERS

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:11): I have a supplementary question. What is the difference in cost, say, per kilometre, between the wire rope barriers and the conventional solid barriers?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:11): I do not have that information with me but, as I have just pointed out, I do not believe this is a matter of cost; this is a matter of extensive research, not just here in South Australia but interstate and overseas also.
