On behalf of the minister
representing the Minister for Transport, I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1)–(4) Both
matters relate to officers who had accessed a TRELIS record or processed a transaction
for someone in circumstances that may have been perceived as a conflict of
interest. Both officers were formally reprimanded with improvement action.
After the improvement action, access to TRELIS was reinstated. As for all employees and agents, the Department of
Transport monitors access for TRELIS breaches. There has been no repeat
behaviour by either officer in three years.
