BLACKWOOD RAIL OVERPASS

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:21): By way of supplementary question, will the minister confirm whether the TAAG group was consulted on the full range of options, or were they merely briefed on a decision that had already been taken?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:22): I can advise, in referring to the minutes, which I have with me, that they record that the top five safest and equitable options are summarised below. So, at the very least, I can say that the top five solutions were presented to and considered by the committee. I do not know whether they got all of the 17 options—

The Hon. M. Parnell: Twenty-two.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: —twenty-two options that were initially considered—but the minutes record that the top five safest and equitable options were summarised below and were considered by that committee.
