BLACKWOOD RAIL OVERPASS

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:22): By way of supplementary question, was one of the 22 options considered that of automatic gates as used in rail crossings in Victoria, given that the lack of adequate sight lines is irrelevant when the gates close automatically when it is safe to close them?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Parnell knows what a supplementary means by now. Opinion is not relevant.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:23): I have not read these minutes completely, so if he would like me to take five minutes to do so to get to the answer, I can.

The Hon. M. Parnell: After question time is fine.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I can do it after question time or I can refer the question to the Minister for Transport in another place to bring back a response.
