All right. You are assistant minister; you are now suggesting that you have got another part to this project?

Mr Briggs interjecting—

No? I think it is interesting that he is actually acknowledging that that is a bit of a problem. Either he is going to have to tunnel under the river, which of course is going to add to the cost of this project, or he is going to have to build a new bridge over the Swan River. Either way, without dealing with that issue, you are not going to be dealing with this.

The public can be absolutely assured that a Labor government will be ensuring that our infrastructure spend will be properly balanced between urban rail and road.
