Public Transport: Motion.
Without repeating the entire argument, it is essential that a metro system is installed. Senator Browne said it can only deal with 10% – the figure is actually less than 10%, as we pointed out five years ago – but let us try to go ahead. The metro is so important and essential to the welfare of this city. I appeal to Senators on the Government side to express their disappointment that there is not a commitment to the metro. Nobody can describe "noting proposals" as a commitment – the situation has gone far beyond that stage. Those on the Government side must ensure that we live up to this commitment. It is cheaper in the long run, as has been stated over many years.
