WEST Australian Labor has rejected Liberal-requested Public Transport Authority (PTA) costings for its Metronet project, saying they compare apples with pears.
The Mark McGowan-led party also refuses to commit to seeking its own PTA report, which would be submitted to the Department of Treasury for validation, or even getting independent engineers to prove its $3.8 billion price tag is correct.
The Liberals insist the rail plan will cost almost $6.4 billion.
Mr McGowan said the Liberal-requested PTA assessment used different assumptions, added an extra rail line and overestimated the length of "cut and cover" tunnelling work needed for the airport section of the proposed network by around five-fold.
He also, along with opposition treasury spokesman Ben Wyatt, provided reporters with an email that indicated Treasurer Troy Buswell had held back a document about Metronet, despite Premier Colin Barnett promising all of the paperwork would be released.
This suggested political interference, Mr McGowan alleged.
Asked repeatedly whether Labor would clear the matter up for once and for all by requesting its own costings from the PTA, he said: "It may wind up that's what happens.
"It may well be that we end up submitting to Treasury or independent engineers."
But first, he wanted to see the document he claimed Mr Buswell had withheld.
