I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Major issues discussed at the meeting were the performance of the air service and factors to increase loadings and revenue while reducing costs. (2) A follow-up teleconference will be held on 7 July with all parties involved, after which I will be advised of the agreed measures. There is a shared sense of urgency on this matter with all parties. (3) Transport has undertaken a number of negotiations with the airline company involved and other organisations to give this service every opportunity for success. Transport will continue to provide support for the service, including the allocation of $35 000 for an operating subsidy in 2000-01. (4) I am committed to ensuring that the agreed package of measures will be implemented quickly and this will ensure that the service continues beyond 30 June this year.
