Discussions have already begun with the Southern Cross Airports about who is going to construct this airport and the arrangements which will apply, the design and the operational arrangements.

In roads, we have got a $50 billion road program that is being rolled out right across the country. In the honourable member for Hasluck's city, the work that is being undertaken on the new port access facilities will make a real difference to the movement of freight through Perth. We are continuing and we have speeded up the work around the gateway Perth project so that it is now going to finish months ahead of the schedule that Labor had laid down, and, once more, we will be delivering more roads under that project than Labor had promised.
