North East Link
Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (13:10): Of course it is all happening. We can see it very clearly as we drive into the city on the Eastern Freeway. There is lots of work – lots of boots on the ground and cranes in the sky. There are jobs galore on the North East Link project. It is the state’s biggest road project in our history and what it is going to do is lift peak rates from 45 to 85 kilometres per hour. It is going to save you up to 11 minutes getting into the city on the Eastern Freeway, which is great news for people out my way. It is going to save you up to 35 minutes and it is going to save you getting any traffic lights all the way across to the airport. This is absolutely massive. I am proud that the Allan Labor government is getting on with this huge infrastructure project.
