This Sunday, 20 September, will mark a momentous day in Western Australia. The Premier will open the landmark new Perth Bunbury Highway, which will be an extension of the Kwinana Freeway and the new Forrest Highway. Canning residents and other residents of Western Australia will now have a safer and more efficient road network. It will be an extra 70½ kilometres. You will get on the road in Perth and will not see a light until you get to Bunbury.

Since becoming the member for Canning in 2001 I have lobbied very hard for federal funding for this highway. It is now going to be delivered, before time. It is an outstanding achievement that will be beneficial both for the region and for Western Australia. (Time expired)

Question agreed to.
