SMARTRIDER CARDS —
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
96. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the free SmartRider
cards provided to members of the Legislative Assembly for distribution to their constituents as part of the summer of free
public transport initiative. I note that some MLAs required their constituents to complete community surveys to obtain a free SmartRider.
(1) Did the government place any
conditions on how these SmartRiders could be used or disposed of?
(2) Is the
private data collected from constituents through community surveys uploaded to
the Labor Party's customer relationship management software?
