The member obviously does not live in the area because she has not seen the congestion there almost 12 hours a day. It is a very serious issue, Member for Perth, when you have ambulances that are not easily able to get in because of significant congestion for the majority of the day because you deleted a bypass and also tried to get rid of the ability to get to Roe stage 8 in order to simply satisfy the votes that you saw as necessary for getting the seats that you required. There was no study done to indicate that the Fremantle Eastern Bypass should be removed. It was a blatant political decision. It is as simple as that. That is a disgrace.

For my electorate, the work that is being done by our government in funding Freight Link is very much welcomed. People are sick and tired of the congestion in my electorate. They see Roe stage 8 as a very welcome piece of relief. They are relieved that they are going to get some relief from the traffic snarl-up that is there every single day with roe stage 7 and the Kwinana Freeway. It is a debacle and your design stinks.
