Treasurer – Tasman Bridge
I want to move to the Tasman Bridge. We all got an update from the Premier yesterday in relation to the Tasman Bridge and the acknowledgement that the original proposal was to build wider pathways on both sides of the bridge to support more walking. It's emerged that obviously budget funding and capacity to do those upgrades isn't there because it requires significant structural upgrade. I'm sure you know this from your role as Infrastructure minister.

Infrastructure – Dove Lake Road
Premier, we have a couple of questions about the condition of Dove Lake Road and the enormous concrete viewing shelter that has been constructed. Dove Lake Road has been pretty much closed off to traffic other than shuttle buses and after‑hours visitors, but despite this, the road is in the worst condition in living memory. The bridge over Pencil Pine Creek is also apparently in urgent need of repair. Is this damage the result of hundreds of truck movements during the construction of the viewing shelter at Dove Lake?

Infrastructure – Leith Intersection, Bass Highway
Premier, I hope you can provide a solution for this issue about the Leith intersection. As you're aware, up on the Bass Highway the intersection has been problematic for quite some time and the community has raised concerns with me. I went up with Mayor Fuller and Mayor Jarman and also Minister Abetz. The community doesn't feel their requests for a safety solution have been answered. Why haven't their requests for safety upgrades been heeded?

Infrastructure – Cradle Mountain Cableway
The Cradle Mountain cableway was originally costed at $60 million. It was later revealed when the business case for the cableway was released via RTI, that as of April 2023, the cost would be $190 million. You stated in the tourism committee that the state would contribute $30 million and you've requested an additional $30 million from the federal government. You also stated a new business case is being produced. Will this new business case be able to deliver a radically altered project, or will you be seeking private funding to cover the $130 million shortfall?
