The Greens’ federal spokesperson for transport, Senator for Western Australia Scott Ludlam, said the Barnett government needed to take a comprehensive approach to solving the state’s transport problems.
“The government is prepared to spend $1 billion on upgrading roads around Perth Airport and work is to commence in just three years. For $3 billion we could build a light rail system to service the entire city, but all we have from the Premier is a vague commitment to bringing light rail to Perth within ten years,” said Senator Ludlam.
