I think the member will want a bit more than that! I thank the honourable member for notice of the question. As a preamble to my response, I point out that it is the long-established custom—and practice, of course—that ministers do not reveal what matters are before cabinet. That is a long-established principle. Bearing that in mind, the answer provided by the minister is — (1)–(4) The public transport network plan is currently being considered by the government and will be released when appropriate.
