Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese has weighed in on the debate over Liberal plans to revive the controversial Roe 8 and 9 road projects, urging Prime Minister Scott Morrison to bring forward funding for ready-to-build WA infrastructure projects to stimulate economic activity.

Dismissing claims by Mr Morrison there was money in the federal budget to build the road, Mr Albanese said the government should "put real dollars into real projects" to stimulate a flatlining economy.

Mr Albanese, the former transport minister in the Rudd and Gillard governments, identified a Causeway cycle bridge as a project that could attract stimulus funding.

"If the federal government wants to contribute to WA, what they should be doing is bringing forward some more of the funding for the projects that have been identified, including Metronet, including the road projects that are actually ready to go," he said.
