I will start with what we know and what the member for Grayndler knows, and that is that this is a very important project that is highly rated by Infrastructure Australia. Isn't it amazing that once again we see the Labor Party not backing the recommendations of an entity which it set up? Building Roe 8 and Roe 9 will create up to 10,000 jobs. Those 10,000 jobs are needed in WA today. It will provide very important east-west access across our city and access to Perth Airport, the Fiona Stanley Hospital, the St John of God hospital and Murdoch University. Roe 8 and Roe 9 will bypass 14 sets of traffic lights on Leach Highway and Stock Road and will create a safer road environment for all road users. Despite the lies and misinformation from Labor, cars will not pay a toll.
