30-YEAR PLAN FOR GREATER ADELAIDE

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:26): As a further supplementary question, could the minister advise whether the railway line to Port Adelaide will be below grade through the Clipsal development, in other words, underground?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: It is rather incredible. We will shortly be embarking on a budget discussion, and I await that with real interest. Opposition members have told us all the things that we should not have cut, and they are suggesting that we should not have made hundreds of millions of dollars worth of savings. I look forward to hearing not only how they are going to make up for that but also how they are going to fund all these other things they wish. I really look forward to hearing that, but I somehow suspect that I will be sadly disappointed.
