 Tunnel under Swan River was considered as part of
Perth Freight Link, Dean Nalder says

"this rediculous plan included the use of your tax money to prove what a child would have concluded - this option was never an option - it was a costly way for Nalder to appear to say he has explored all options before pressing forward on a half assed and unwanted road infrastructure project. If your money is being used so flagrantly, consider the entire scope of this project and its $2 Billion dollar price tag offering no useable benefit to anyone within the communities it affects."
