The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:38): Supplementary: is the minister confirming to this chamber, despite saying that it is an important project and will support the community in the Hills, that this project will not commence, construction-wise, before the next election?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:39): I think the honourable member wasn't listening. We have a priority that has been committed to by the state government, the federal government, I think even the former Labor federal government years ago, and the former Labor government, one that you were a keen part of as an adviser, a keen staffer in that government.

The priority is the north-south corridor. As I said, only the Labor Party would do half a project and then walk away from it. Our priority is to complete the north-south corridor. That has been well articulated. This project is a significant project that will be on the books and on the agenda for many years to come. We stick to our priorities, and our priority will be to complete the north-south corridor.
