Senator JOHNSTON (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:25): Thank you again, Senator, for the question. Currently it will take a maximum of 63 minutes between the Eastern Freeway and CityLink. East West Link stage 1 will cut this to just seven minutes, bypassing 23 sets of traffic lights. Single stage 1 will alleviate critical congestion at the end of the Eastern Freeway and address chronic congestion around Flemington Road, the CityLink off-ramp, Mt Alexander road, Racecourse Road and Elliott Avenue. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: On my left! Senator Conroy! Senator Lines! Senator JOHNSTON: They are not interested in this, of course, over there. Stage 2 will provide a 15- to 20-minute time-saving for people travelling from Geelong, Werribee, Altona and Laverton into the city; provide a 10- to 15-minute time-saving for people travelling from Ballarat, Melton and Caroline Springs into the city; and cut 15 to 20 minutes off a typical trip from the freight and logistics precinct in Truganina in Melbourne's west to the Port of Melbourne.
