that Roe 8 simply does not work for the outer harbour. The Perth Freight Link fails at every turn. It stops 2.8 kilometres short of the port, moving the point of congestion, not solving it.

The new port is needed to enable us to host the new workhorse container vessels that are being developed following the expansion of the Panama Canal. It is a disgrace that more than $1 billion of federal taxpayer money has been spent on this project. (Time expired)
