Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Australind service.
(1) On what date did the Public Transport Authority
appoint a consultant to investigate a faster and more direct Australind service?
(2) Who is the consultant?
(3) With regard to money spent on
the consultancy, can the minister —
(a) advise how much has been spent on
the consultant's services to date; and
(b) clarify the total budget for this
consultant?
(4) When will the
final report on the Australind service be delivered; and will this
report be made publicly available, and, if not, why not?
